About this site
This site isn’t an interactive blog; it’s a discursive archive that walks you through selected columns, reviews, essays, and audio and video commentaries. For latest work, click link at the top of this screen. The rest of the site is in thematic sections, including an essay, “Looking for America,” that I commend as an introduction to the site. To access the thematic sections, click a heading in red here, or scroll down to it on screen below this box. Some pdfs come up slowly.
