For decades, American conservatives have lamented that the nation’s arts and culture are dominated by leftist perspectives.

But over the past generation, fewer works of art have become cultural touchstones. What happened? Why does our art seem to matter less? Why don’t critics and audiences alike react to art as we once did?

Two weeks ago, the British House of Commons voted in favor of a bill that, according to the BBC, “would allow terminally ill adults expected to die within six months to seek help to end their own life.” The final vote was 330 to 275. This news immediately turned my mind to the P.D. James novel The Children of Men, published in 1993.
