Plus: MAGA Nation; Adam and Eve; 25 Years of the "War on Terror"; Early Modern Critics; A Salmon's Journey
| Our November 6 issue is now online, with Jed Perl on critical thinking, Mark Lilla on the MAGA nation, Ben Lerner on his heart, Clare Bucknell on female critics in early modern England, Cora Currier on twenty-five years of the “war on terror,” Peter E. Gordon on the religion of sociology, Wyatt Mason on Guy Davenport, Josephine Quinn on St. Augustine of Africa, Geoffrey O’Brien on Kavalier and Clay at the Met, Nitin K. Ahuja on the science of death, Darryl Pinckney on James Baldwin, a painting by Maira Kalman, poems by April Bernard and Amit Majmudar, and much more. The MAGA movement is not fed by conservative ideas but by a nihilistic, apocalyptic determination to stage a counterrevolution against the Sixties, against liberalism, against even democracy itself. A nineteenth-century novella daringly suggests that there’s no reason the apparently contradictory theories of creationism and evolutionism can’t be reconciled. Rich Beck’s Homeland charts how four presidential administrations managed to evade moral responsibility for the “war on terror” by hiding behind legality and process. Early modern female writers, who were denied the sort of authority usually needed to write literary criticism, were also freed from its constraints. Swimming up Argentina’s Paraná River, a non-native fish encountered a landscape being remade at an unprecedented speed. Special Offer
