Mark 'n' Andy -- By: Jay Nordlinger

Because I devote the bulk of Impromptus today to Mark Helprin -- to his latest book, Digital Barbarism -- much mail concerning Helprin has come in: expressions of appreciation, wonderment, and so on. (One reader keeps Helprin’s short-story collection The Pacific in her car, to read when she has to wait for any reason.) I’d like to comment on the e-mail of a particular reader, who was a...

A book to confront, &c. -- By: Jay Nordlinger

R eaders, will you indulge me in something? For months now, I’ve been meaning to say something about Mark Helprin’s latest book, Digital Barbarism: A Writer’s Manifesto . It is a strange, wondrous, challenging, and enriching book -- possibly even an ennobling book. Mark is my friend, and you may discount everything I say. But then, you may want to hear a word or two, regardless....

The Fact That Anyone Can Publish Means More Of The Good Stuff... And Yes, More Of The Bad Stuff

We've tried to articulate this before when various (often self-proclaimed) elitists like Nicholas Carr, Andrew Keen or Mark Helprin bash the rise of social media or the fact that "anyone" can publish. They love to highlight all of the bad and ridiculous stuff that people decide to publish. And, no doubt, plenty more bad stuff gets published. But... at the same time, a lot more good stuff...

Akiva Goldsman Wants to Direct Mark Helprin’s Winter’s Tale, Talks Lobo and Swamp Thing

Hollywood loves Akiva Goldsman. No surprise. He's a geek at heart, and these days geeks make money. He's able to marry that sensibility with an approach that brings in adult audiences (The Da Vinci Code) and even wins awards (A Beautiful Mind). And yet a lot of us have a real mistrust of the writer, not even thanks to his credit on the execrable Batman and Robin, but for being the driving force behind...

Obama and the Politics of Concession

World leaders prepare for summits with other heads of state by, among other things, studying in-depth psychological profiles prepared by analysts in their security divisions. At best, these profiles are predictive of likely future behavior. The Mossad dossiers are famous for containing deep information that other services have missed. For instance, the Mossad's file on Bill Clinton contains detailed...

The price of appeasement

Mark Helprin: ... We are now faithfully complying, and last week, after Iran foreclosed discussion of its nuclear program and Mojtaba Samareh Hashemi, Mr. Ahmadinejad's chief political adviser, predicted "the defeat and collapse" of Western democracy, the U.S. agreed to enter talks the premise of which, incredibly, is to eliminate American nuclear weapons. Even the zombified press awoke for...
