What has happened in Gaza will be remembered as one of the great atrocities of the 21st century, and many of those who denied it or turned a blind eye have the records of their moral cowardice on full display, often on this very website. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

Now up on The Hobbyhorse: @toomuchistrue reads Samuel Beckett's late experimental teleplay QUADRAT 1+2 as science fiction and explores the implications of that, as well as late-Beckett as literature at the end of literature. thehobbyhorse.substack.com/p/the-barest-t…

Happy Pub Day to Elias Canetti's The Book Against Death. A magnificent, idiosyncratic thought book from Europe's last great writer. I wrote about it all the way back in May. themillions.com/2024/05/elias-…
