Imagine studying music and being taught that Beethoven's greatest achievement was revealing the class structures of nineteenth-century Europe. That's essentially what happens in far too many English departments.

Sally Rooney is an experimental novelist, you guys are just misogynists

It’s important that while we commend Rooney’s principled stand and defend her from the illiberal consequences of draconian proscription laws we never waver on the entirely separate fact that her books are extremely shallow and bland.

Update: a warm funeral pyre
Rosie Roti@supriyanOct 7
CJP got the last good day of the year in Mumbai in which to bring everyone together. You have to smell the air in the city to believe it. Like putting your nose in a cooling funeral pyre.

The median age of the interviewees in this NYT report should be crazy to anyone who's been out on the streets over the last few months nytimes.com/2026/10/18/world…

In India, the Scion of a Political Dynasty Tries to Seize His Moment

You just won a 2-week, all-expenses-paid vacation to Africa. But there’s a catch: you have to stay within one region the whole time. What are you picking?

Remember Faizan, the 23-year-old who was beaten to death by the Delhi police during the 2020 riots while being forced to sing the national anthem? His siblings have now been struck off the voter rolls because they’re more than six and mapped to the same parent. “Our brother was forced to prove his Indianness until his last breath. Now, after his death, the rest of us are having to prove it by running around with documents to show that we are in fact Indian,” his sister told me. Reporting for @newlinesmag
