Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.

Incidentally, since almost all the physical books from major publishers in the US are printed in China, that probably just increased the price by 50%, which massively lowers sales and means publishers will do much smaller print runs.

Was Dag Solstad obsessed with a desolate universe? Possibly. His characters are alienated, world-weary, and struggle to fit into the modern world. He was a giant in Norwegian literature. Do read the obituary in today’s NYT. His work deserves more Anglophone readers and translations -

This isn't anti-DEI - it's retelling history as a story with only white men in it. The tale of the Navajo Code Talkers is essential to understanding the Allies' victory in WWII. Removing it because the people involved were non-white is segregationism.
