People are all saying Putin's speech was crazy. What I heard was nationalistic history. That's what nationalistic history sounds like when it's not your own country.

“Crosstalk is all that we are going to get,” Richard Rorty once wrote. “No one can make sense of the notion of a last commentary, a last discussion note.” All of Louis Menand’s work is written in this spirit. It is a report on other reports on experience. thepointmag.com/criticism/wh…
