And don’t forget, for years, she dictated all of the book coverage of the Times. Imagine having such a banal, reactionary thinker overseeing all literary coverage

Thank you !

Excellent interview, as always.

I wish you would have asked about Biden's suggestion that he would be president for only one term--what happened to that idea ?

It's sadly hilarious that we have never heard this kind of scenario from a Democrat

I agree completely but to have exerted diplomatic pressure, Biden would have had to see the Palestinians as being human. And he just couldn't do that--Kamala couldn't either, I'm afraid...

Excellent, alarming piece -- thank you !

Excellent, beautifully observed piece ! Thank you…

Any evidence ? Or just vibes and racism ???

Only someone who was not a member of one of the many minorities he targeted would laud his civility — shameful

Your credulousness is quite shocking

Do you find all white supremacists interesting or only this one ???

OMG : I can’t imagine an author or an editor being responsible for such clunky prose.

His politics are terrible — his writing seems to be even worse…

Excellent piece, thank you. But don't you think that AIPAC support for some of the centrist Dems is also a factor?

But I agree with you completely : their lack of support of someone who has created such excitement is disqualifying and makes them look foolish and out of touch

Get some fight, man — against the fascists ! They’re the problem, if you haven’t quite twigged to that …

Morally reprehensible !

Shocking !

Can you imagine this review being published when the book pages were edited by Pamela Paul ?

I don’t think so — one of the many reasons to be grateful that she’s moved along 🙏🙏🙏
