#FewAndFarBetween got a shout in the New Yorker’s pick of this week’s new releases and I am saving it here as it may well be the first and last time my name appears in the New Yorker.
It’s two years today since the inimitable Edna O’Brien and Éibhear Walshe both left us. We are the better for having had them so long in our midst and Irish letters continues to benefit from their words and thought.
For many years, people didn’t randomly film others in public—not because we didn’t have the technology, but because the social contract said you didn’t do that. That’s why Meta is going full court press on their PR and celebrity endorsements. They remember how people ran google glass outta town.

The Moose Lottery carries off something difficult: unraveling a story heavy with both emotion and plot in a way that feels tightly paced and forward-moving, never getting bogged down but also allowing space for what is hard to be hard. A wonderfully subtle page turner by @real-immirage.bsky.social

Through a review of histories on institutional complicity in the Nazi regime, author Lauren Arrington reminds us that fascism is enabled by individual choices—and that “every person might choose—at any moment—to refuse.”
Resistance Disguised as a History Lesson: Fascism and the University - Public Books
Her student—a former Nazi stormtrooper—was proof that no one was lost to the new regime, that every person might choose to refuse.
