“Popular art about the Holocaust has long been a series of lesson plans,” @galbeckerman writes. But “A Real Pain” manages to tell a story about the Holocaust “that doesn’t ask all those dead millions to become its supporting cast.” theatlantic.com/culture/archiv…

I decided to write a very different kind of piece about the election. We’re never going to find our way back to one another through ideological arguments. It’s our vulnerabilities that bind us. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
