The humanities are failing because our society does not hold up under scrutiny, and the conservators of the status quo, university administrators included, do not want to equip students with the means to understand, critique, or overthrow it.

My longstanding theory is that she was named after the Meadowlands, where Springsteen played six dates on the River tour in July 1981, presumably with Tony and Carmela in attendance for this performance of “Jersey Girl.”

The most unrealistic thing about The Sopranos is that her name is “Meadow.” No way in hell Tony and Carmella had a baby girl in 1982 in New Jersey and didn’t name her Gianna Marie.

Everyone can and should write about whatever they want to, and anyone saying otherwise is giving into the narcissistic, anti-intellectual pull of fascistic tendencies that gratify shallow political consensus but are in fact against the purpose and value of literature.

Artists are allowed to write about what happens in their lives, and schoolmarmish normies will judge them for doing so. That’s how things work. The scolds don’t understand, can’t understand. It’s fine. They aren’t artists or even serious readers.

This was the most rewarding reading experience I’ve had in a long time. Michaels is funny as hell, and smarter than 99% of the writers since who have taken up, mostly unwittingly, the plot points, themes, and narrative techniques he lays out here. An unsung if imperfect genius.
