I am trying to read "Kairos" by Jenny Erpenbeck. So far I have failed to be absorbed by it. Part of the problem is that it thrusts the reader into deeply intimate scenes between two lovers at the very beginning and they are basically ciphers. Also the unmistakable cloying tone of class solidarity.

That Caryl Phillips novel based on Jean Rhys was pretty good and led me to her sharply written book "Good Morning, Midnight" and the Jonathan Coe book read many years ago is just a tiny flicker in memory. Just remember it as being very different from his later social realist Brexit novel.

I just think Trump understands Mamdani is not someone he wants to tangle with. Too smart, too charismatic, too New York, too straightforward, too young. Easier targets elsewhere, like everyone who works for him and most of Congress. (1/2)

If Mamdani had eschewed those attacks to say ‘Cuomo will answer for his conduct when he meets his maker, I’m here to talk about affordability,’ Cuomo may have done better. Making Cuomo’s character salient was decisive to NY voters I know personally.

Also, the Democrats fielding this bad advice are in the congressional opposition, not running for president. Also, also, Mamdani’s attacks on Cuomo for abusing women were brutal. Sharper, as far as I can recall, than anything Trump has faced from his opponents.

I wonder what America would look like if both parties had possessed the moral integrity to take a hard line against segregation and antiblackness and left disgruntled racists politically homeless instead of integrating hatred into a party platform.
