On #CancelCulture and #FreeSpeech in the #ArtWorld:

Are those artists who are now losing money and representation for failing to condemn Hamas able to understand that the free speech they desire is the same free speech desired by all the others they previously canceled? It would be easy—and somewhat gratifying—to point out their hypocrisy. But there is a real opportunity here to reject cynicism and careerism and, instead, to insist that while we may disagree, we don’t have to destroy each other.

Books that I read in 2021 - number 19:

Right after the first part, I have now read the second part of the Copenhagen trilogy by this great female writer. Youth is the title and that is exactly what this unfortunately very slim book is about. With a clear, humorous style, she describes her years after leaving school and her path to becoming a poet. Now I have really turned into a Tove Ditlevsen fan.
