Thanks Benjamin. I read the novel when it came out. I would have never thought it would become relevant again. I’m afraid it will take decades for things to normalize again - or to feel normal again. But we may speed up the process by making ourselves heard. So thank you.
Thank you for your kind words. I re-read the book recently, and have been recommending it to many, for now-obvious reasons. I forgot to mention in the main article that HBO did a six-part series based on it that's very good, and largely true to the novel.
Thanks for this. Thinking about what's happening in Washington feels so hard. Writing about it feels impossible. Glad you are more than up to the task.
I wasn't planning on writing about this. But I just composed this in about an hour, so clearly I had things to get off my chest. Thanks for reading and the kind words!

Let us make our voices heard.
Lovely piece. We are in this fight together.
Thank you. Yes we are.
South Africa is also a reminder that a society can be dealt a terrible set of blows and still recover in time, with leadership and determination.
That's very true, and a helpeful reminder Layth. Thanks for the comment (and getting Nabil to sign up for this!)
