….here is a piece i wrote for my good friend david daley, who is an editor at the Louisville paper and runs the cool fiction site “five chapters” … he gave me chance to get into my love of overlooked aspects of the early postwar period… of course there is much else to say about those years. i wish i’d had room to get into the tradition of social criticism, on topics like alienation and “the cultural contradictions of capitalism” that were born in that period.
speaking of, i rec all serious readers check out rich perlstein’s goldwater book, “before the storm,” when it is reissued this spring.
if any of you shared a prosecco with me one New Year’s Eve you could see i was sporting what i call my “Mad Men tie.”
