Dear readers, I’ve moved this blog to the Substack platform, with a new name and expanded scope! Please follow me to October Observations, where I wax eloquent (or at least try to) about books, culture, and learning, shared from the perspective of life’s autumn.

For a sampling of the commentaries I’m working on, take a look at two of my initial pieces:

America: We need a bigger appetite for great books

A deep dive into the value of reading great books, especially amid a reading crisis in America. Go here for the piece.

A July 4th week like it oughta be: Thank you to Boston, the World Cup lead-in, and Revolutionary Spaces

As this angry and divided nation approached its 250th anniversary, July 4th week in Boston gave me some spirit and hope. Go here for the piece.

These two commentaries are rather Ameri-centric, which I promise will not always be the case! In any event, they should give you a sense of the expanded breadth of this venue for my writing. I hope you’ll follow me to Substack and October Observations.
