Come onnnnnnnn New Republic. This fucking article is everything I despise. Sorry I'm not being fair, but who the fuck writes a book called "How to Read Literature," and who else the fuck writes about someone who wrote "How to Read Literature"? I'll stop now. Gonna go read some literature.The invitation to citizens to luxuriate in a pleasurable absence of deliberation perhaps connects, too, the rhetorical fashion for spontaneity with the sudden promotion of “mindfulness” by corporate and state interests.
