If Absalom! was published today, Faulkner would have to add a content note decrying Sutpen's actions because heaven forbid readers think critically about the work they're encountering. Hypersensitivity towards "offence" in culture and the academy is excruciatingly infantilising.
A new revival of “Glengarry Glen Ross,” starring Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk, Bill Burr, and Michael McKean, lands with a puzzling, bitter thud. The play’s racist and homophobic slurs land hard in the era of MAGA.
Kieran Culkin’s ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’ Is Dangerously Dated
There’s an argument to let David Mamet’s 1984 play stay pure to its words—but those racist and homophobic slurs land with a thud in the era of MAGA.
