"Does censorship work? Never completely," writes Norma Klein, a much-banned children's author, in The Lion and the Unicorn, way back in 1986

"The only kind of censorship which makes sense to me is the kind all of us practice —putting down a book without finishing it because it seems boring or not worth the time.

What I dislike most about censorship is the attempt of a single person to impose his or her literary or moral standards on others who do not share them at all."

Among the myriad ways art matters, writes Paul Chan, "the experience of art saves us from being conned"

#AcademicSky

There are many arguments today about why art matters: it is a form that authenticates what is most human about humanity; it celebrates and affirms the diversity of cultures and identities; it upholds values of individual freedoms; it is a good pedagogical tool for teaching social and political ideas; it is a sound economic investment; it gives pleasure. Among these competing claims, I want simply to add one more, and a fairly prosaic one at that: that the experience of art saves us from being conned.

"For all of Dorothy Parker’s quips about cocktails and Bukowski’s bromides about beer, Fitzgerald’s prose alcohol content remains unmatched." Amid a cultural turn to sobriety, Sloane Crosley rereads the original “poet inebriate.”
