I have the lead piece in today’s Outlook section in the Washington Post and my book has a very thoughtful and generous review in the New York Post.

Update: From a reader:

Please advise your readers to take a few minutes to peruse the “Comments” posted at the Washington Post website in response to you article. Surely, these are representative, in some sense at least, of the mountains of trash talk you must endure every day. Thus, they may prove illuminating for your fans, spotlighting the asinine”soul” of the American Left and the Brown-shirted intellectualism of contemporary Progressivism. Can the unpunctuated banality embody anything less than a nutshell history of a century and a half of public education in America.

Me: By all means, have at it. Me, I ignore comments sections for the most part for, I think, obvious reasons. My editor, Adam Bellow, suggests I just view this sort of thing like an amusement park attraction – like Pirates of the Caribbean or some haunted flume ride — where silly ghouls and clownish beats leap out at you for a moment for a predictable but ultimately childish laugh. I’m coming around to that point of view.
