What a kvetchy announcement, Doug! Can we locate the url for her
magnificent debunking of Tom Frank in Stanley’s new journal, Situations(?). Is
that article what’s eating you, Doug?
Kvetchy? I thought it was honest. I don’t like obits that overlook
the unpleasant bits. But when she was good, she was really good. And
that piece on Tom Frank was Willis at her best, I thought. (The URL
is http://ojs.gc.cuny.edu/index.php/situations/article/view/30/26,
by the way. I’m not sure what you mean by “eting” me, since I’ve
lodged plenty of criticisms of What’s The Matter With Kansas over the
last year or so.) That piece, and the Beginning to See the Light
essay collection, which I thought was terrific. I loved the essay on
“women’s music.”
