I was out at a restaurant with friends and a young man stopped by my table tonight to tell me my essay collection changed his whole life. And I thanked him and wished him well, and then thought about how it can be a really nice life, to be writer.

One of the biggest blows against the illusion of Western democracy in recent years has been that there is now more popular support for Palestine than ever, the tide has turned; and yet it doesn't make any difference whatsoever.
