Jeet Heer added,
hofstadter’s fuckin dumb why do you need to tell us about that rn
I'm generally anti-Hofstadter but that was a genuinely great book and it was fitting Lewis carried it, for reasons I'll explain in an upcoming piece
i’ll be interested to read, as a historian myself i tend to be a little dubious about stories of radicalism and direct action that center the books people were reading
(and especially dubious about crediting the consensus historians with much besides cold war mythmaking)
Wait for my piece. And it wasn't me, but Lewis himself who mentioned on several occasions having that book in his backpack at that march.
