"When I first read this book in 2010 I was the same age as the ne’er-do-well son Chip. It’s 16 yrs later (the book’s 25th anniversary) and I’m midway between Chip and his parents’ ages. My perspective has changed as I have more in common with Enid and Alfred now." — Oct 12, 2026 05:47AM

“Walt Disney admired Mussolini and in 1938 quietly hosted Nazi filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl, a month after Kristallnacht.”
― Jeff Sharlet, The Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War

Tove Jansson
“One summer morning at sunrise a long time ago
I met a little girl with a book under her arm.
I asked her why she was out so early and
she answered that there were too many books and
far too little time. And there she was absolutely right.”
― Tove Jansson

“If Trump said it was a joke, reporters reported that claim. They wanted to believe that some norms still held. Some feared that if they acknowledged just how far beyond norms he’d gone, they’d be normalizing the new American spectrum, one in which dictatorship had become not just a hyperbolic charge thrown around by each party’s most heated partisans but an actual idea.”
― Jeff Sharlet, The Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War

Mary Wollstonecraft
“Who made man the exclusive judge, if woman partake with him the gift of reason?
In this style, argue tyrants of every denomination, from the weak king to the weak father of a family; they are all eager to crush reason; yet always assert that they usurp its throne only to be useful.”
― Mary Wollstonecraft, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman
