Gelman glosses LS with the malice he deserves & says "feel free to use this post in your next English literature class." Close-reading exercise: who is "you"?

Furthermore, a lot of people feel this way about reading, while also having internalized some idea that reading (as such, not necessarily reading anything in particular) is a moral good, leaving the whole area of literacy a maelstrom of cognitive dissonance and shame

II was looking at the Kirkus review page for J Schumacher's Dear Committee Members (don't ask), & the same page has the review of The Handmaid's Tale underneath? I sort of see the connection, but…?
