What Does Anti-Semitism Even Mean?

Anti-Semitism—as a word—is becoming more gaseous than what spewed forth from the death chambers during the Holocaust. Trump is weaponizing this potent word to arrest people and to withhold funds from institutions that criticize Israel's attacks in Gaza or express pro-Palestinian views. Students on college campuses can no longer freely demonstrate because such protests against Israel's aggression

Susan Kellam and 4 other people liked Jason Furman's review of The Women:
The Women by Kristin Hannah
"Weakly written, emotionally manipulative, contrived plot devices, but still a page turner that does a service by providing an American woman's perspective on the Vietnam War and chronicling the difficulties for people that return and the large change" Read more of this review »

Absolution by Alice McDermott
Rate this book

Susan Kellam is starting Absolution: Classic Alice: terse, finely drawn characters, stark setting. I liked this book quite a bit more than the No1 bestselling, The Women, by Kristin Hannah. I felt more authentically in Vietnam when absorbed in Absolution. The Women had the blood and bombs but not enough of what happens day to day. Both good books, just preferred the more subtle picture of Vietnam rather than all the noise.
