    Given his narcissism, hypocrisy, and misanthropy, why do we cherish Henry David Thoreau? http://nyer.cm/SRskkrJ pic.twitter.com/ExKNs2ArjE

        a 5-star polemic, but imho the @NewYorker compromises its urbanity by running polemics

        reading this piece more carefully, i'd call it maybe 3-star polemic. deliberate misreadings all over. not @NewYorker's proudest moment

        @NewYorker because he wanted to live deliberately, so he went to the woods to do be important things...like stare at ants.

        @NewYorker At the time he knew he was a misanthrope and was also the only person who could spell it without using a dictionary.

        @NewYorker This is the most atrocious reading of Walden I've ever read. Kathryn has missed every point by a mile.

        @NewYorker If one doesn't separate Art from artist, nothing will remain to enjoy. Decent humans rarely get famous.

        @NewYorker Better read Molière or Shakespeare to understand what misanthropy is.

        @NewYorker You're not going to make me hate Thoreau by attempting to over-analyze & categorize him. Foolishness.

        @NewYorker well played click bait. At least it sparked conversation about a classic. Nothing wrong with that.

        @NewYorker How can a piece like this even be published? Its thesis is like something from a freshman comp class.

        @NewYorker because nature writers, field scientists, ethicists, historians, and those wondering why will find woods to explore in his work.

        @NewYorker writer should live alone in woods two years and maybe will then understand Thoreau and the natural world; it was an experiment!
