In her new book, What Is Wrong with Men: Patriarchy, the Crisis of Masculinity, and How (Of Course) Michael Douglas Films Explain Everything, feminist author Jessa Crispin explores the crisis facing modern men.

In 2020 a brilliant novel was published called The Standardization of Demoralization Procedures, by Jennifer Hofmann. Kirkus called it “a remarkable first novel that reads like the work of a seasoned pro.”Despite great reviews, Standardization did not hit the bestseller lists. At the time of publication, the country was focused on the George Floyd riots and the fallout from COVID. Still, for those of us who read the book, it left a lasting impression.

I recently wrote that I am leaving journalism. I also noted that I have several pieces in the pipeline that have been contracted for, or that I promised editors. Many are reviews of forthcoming books.
Looking at some of the book titles, I detected a theme that can bring many of them together. That theme is the transformative power of art and how it fits into the evolutionary power of God, who is love.
Stick with me. It’s my last summer as a journalist so I’m swinging for the fences.

“How did you not see it?”That was the question a high school student asked journalist Ryan Lizza several years ago in a class I was teaching at Georgetown University. Lizza had been a writer in the 1990s at The New Republic at the same time as Stephen Glass. Glass had written several fraudulent and fictitious articles for the New Republic. Glass had been found out but only after dozens of made-up articles had made it into print. A 2004 film, Shattered Glass, had been made about the scandal.

In her new book Outclassed: How the Left Lost the Working Class and How to Win Them Back, Joan C. Williams has a message for her fellow liberals: if you don’t care about the problems facing working-class Americans and don’t strive to understand their point of view on things, you won’t win elections.

I still remember Dave’s face. It was about 19 years ago. Dave, a friend, had won $100,000 on Jeopardy! the previous year. I saw him at a party and excitedly came up to him. “Fantastic job on Jeopardy!” I said.
Dave’s face fell. He looked like I had reminded him of a kidney stone he had passed. “The money goes fast,” he said, then wandered off to get a drink.
Itdoes. $100,000 is also the amount I raised in 2018 from donors who wanted to support my journalism.
