I write about Art, Culture, and Race in The Jazprose Diaries on Substack. My short stories are there too in The Fiction Fix. Read me, Seymour, read me.

‘Greek Lessons’ by recent Nobel laureate Han Kang helped me get through election night. It’s a beautiful novel about the need for connection amidst great loss, as the main characters contend with key concepts of Ancient Greek philosophy in a South Korean classroom. I loved this book! 💙📚

Look at this!
This is a good man.
This is a good human being.
This is a normal human being. 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?

Character isn't something you tell people about.

It's something you live.

Iconic opera star Leontyne Price is related to Dione Warwick and Whitney Houston. But it took more than good genes to turn her into a legend. open.substack.com/pub/andrewja...
How Leontyne Price Beat the Odds
It took a lot more than the gene pool she shares with Dionne Warwick and Whitney Houston to turn the opera star into legend.

If only there were a few Republicans in the US Senate with cojones like this. Former US Attorney Hagan Scotten is a Republican with a JD from Harvard. He held the rank of captain in the Special Forces during the Iraq War.

The house became full of love. Aureliano expressed it in poetry that had no beginning or end. He would write it on the harsh pieces of parchment that Melquiades gave him, on the bathroom walls, on the skin of his arms, and in all of it Remedios would appear transfigured:

For some reason, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari comes to mind.

The Great Gatsby will turn 100 just as Trump returns to the White House next year. The novel’s portrayal of America’s dark side tells us exactly what to expect in a second Trump administration. And why his return is business as usual.

'The Great Gatsby' exposed the dark side of America decades before the 2024 election. But some folks are about to have their eyes opened to its lessons for the very first time.

I reread The Great Gatsby recently and was amazed by what it reveals about Donald Trump and the dark side of America. So I wrote about it in The Jazprose Diaries on Substack

Good morning #BlueSky
It’s my day off and I’ve already done so much!
It’s a foggy morning and I’ve been on a morning walk. I just love the fog, although it makes me miss Scotland even more.
