Thanks so much for sharing, Susan — I did!

A great article!

Thanks so much Lisa! What a lovely message to get! There are others of your kind (if you do FB): www.facebook.com/jimsjournal

I wish people I make books about would stop taking over the world!

A thing of beauty!! Thank you, Khalid!

Please accept my belated apology and best wishes. I assure you I’m not and have never been an anti-semite. By way of receipts, check out this pro-Jewish rant I posted on TIkTok that pre-dates your post: www.tiktok.com/@scottdikker... (5/5)

It was an insensitive joke for you—I get it. I didn’t I mean to malign you, your family, or your history and I’m sorry that I hurt you. I like you. I’ve always liked you. And working with you was an immense privilege and pleasure. (4/5)

Of course I know the Jews were a brutally oppressed minority in Nazi Germany—I figure everyone knew this, and I was attempting irony. (3/5)

I remember what you’re talking about. I used to have a bit about how Spielberg made his definitive Holocaust movie but for some reason made a Nazi the protagonist. I imagined him at a story meeting saying, “The Jews aren’t a compelling protagonist because they don’t fight back.” (2/5)

Hi Jack - thanks so much for sharing this story. I'm new to BlueSky and am just seeing it now. I’m so sorry to hear this memory has been haunting you for 25 years! I wish we had talked about it when we had lunch in New work in the mid-2000s, which I believe is the last time I saw you. (1/5)
