![]() Mark Leibovich: Basically, when This Town came out in 2013, a lot of people were saying, Oh, well, you’ll never eat lunch in D.C. Gal Beckerman: So how does it feel to become D.C.’s greatest contemporary sociologist? Do you still get invited to parties? This conversation has been edited and condensed for clarity. I talked with Leibovich about the people he calls the “collaborators” and whether he has a grand “banality of evil” theory to explain their behavior. What made them tick? That was a journalistic question with some mystery to it. Far more interesting were those who stood next to Trump and enabled his rise-the Lindsey Grahams and Kevin McCarthys-those who should have known better. “I never found Donald Trump to be remotely captivating as a stand-alone figure,” Leibovich, a staff writer for The Atlantic, writes in an excerpt. ![]() ![]() What distinguishes Mark Leibovich’s new book about the Trump years from all the many, many others is that he started it with an unusual premise: He was bored with Trump. ![]()

I especially love when he posts photos from after-parties or star-studded openings with memories about whatever A-list celebrities he rubbed shoulders with. I've followed Sessums on social media and read his interviews from Vanity Fair, Parade and Interview Magazine. The book ends with Sessums taking in an afternoon matinee in New York City, searching for solace in the way he always has: being alone. In the end, though, tragedy struck again in the form of a brutal murder. "Although I was only 16 at the time, I had immediately been accepted into their fold," he wrote in the book. Surely with Frank Hains, Eudora Welty and the burgeoning New Stage Theater community, and the Jackson literati of the day, Sessums could blossom. When a teenage Sessums escaped to Jackson, I, like most readers, assumed he had made it to safety. ![]() The book opened our eyes to the life of a boy touched by tragedy, feeling like an outsider in an ultra-conservative southern state, and his molestation at the hands of a trusted minister.

The Cask of Amontillado Essay: The short fiction by Edgar Allan Poe, The Cask Of Amontillado, is a masterpiece in the genre of horror stories. ![]() ![]() ![]() Meena Kandasamy is a Chennai-based, contemporary poet, fiction writer, translator and activist. Meena Kandasamy brings out some of the literary works that express caste, class, racism and also brings out the depressed condition of the marginalized people especially the Dalits who live among the exploited people. Inequality prevails because of the discrimination among people related to the class, caste, race and gender. The treatment of inequality prevents the peaceful atmosphere of a society. Maintaining equality is a major issue expected in the world at the present time. The perspectives of the inanimate objects on the Dalits are quite common but the society rebels against the use of inanimate objects touched by the untouchables. She delineates the savage treatment of untouchables. She has designed her poem in such a way to incorporate the marginalized, the voices of the Dalit community. In her poem, "One-Eyed", she delineates the continued existence of oppressive structures of caste, class, race and gender domination within the Indian society. ![]() Meena Kandasamy always sketches the weakness and struggle of the Dalits in her poems. ![]() ![]() ![]() It was interesting to see how being with Ed kind of changed Sam, brought out more darkness in him, but not necessarily in a good or bad way, just a way that suited them and their relationship. I also liked their dynamic, how each was able to accept the darkness in the other (which was kind of a theme throughout the book). ![]() The way Ed couldn't be intimate without his vampire side taking over and putting Sam in danger added an element of difficulty to the romance and sex scenes that I enjoyed. He worried about hurting Sam, but, if I recall correctly, he didn't mind what he was. Ed was the quintessential brooding vampire in some ways, but not in others. Sometimes a vampire paranormal romance is just what you need, and this was a cute one! The romance started up kind of quickly, but it grew on me as the book went on. *I received an ecopy of this book from the author. ![]() ![]() ![]() These hilarious essays on life inside and outside a Zen monastery make up the spiritual memoir of Shozan Jack Haubner, a Zen monk who didn’t really start out to be one. Not only because it’s highly entertaining, but because of its remarkable insight into the human condition. Whether he’s dealing with the pranks of a juvenile delinquent assistant in the monastery kitchen or defending himself against claims that he appeared in a porno movie under the name "Daniel Reed" (he didn’t, really) or being surprised in the midst of it all by the compassion he experiences in the presence of his teacher, Haubner’s voice is one you'll be compelled to listen to. How he went from life in the fast lane to life on the stationary meditation cushion is the subject of this laugh-out-loud funny account of his experiences. Raised in a conservative Catholic family, Shozan went on to study philosophy (becoming de-Catholicized in the process) and to pursue a career as a screenwriter and stand-up comic in the clubs of L.A. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
