That’s the quote. I was looking for it. And here it is. Hannah Arendt on the Matt Gaetz as AG announcement
'This process includes the replacement of all first-rate talents, regardless of their political loyalties, with crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is the best guarantee of their loyalty.' (The Origins of Totalitarianism, renewed version, A Harvest Book New York, 1976, 339)

Today in novelist vs department chair: my building has a creepy secret staircase and my novel has a creepy secret cellar. We stashed a copy of FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC at the top of the secret stair to creep out students who accidentally discover it. But my novel only has a copy of my novel in it.

Today in novelist vs department chair! Did I, a novelist, spend my day amplifying the intensity of the battle between two 18th-century lesbians? Or did I, a lesbian, write a novel-worth of emails deescalating the turmoil of one small 21st-century English Department?
