"The short horizon is at least partly because Denby — who was the longtime film critic as well as staff #writer at the New Yorker — has chosen to #write about the lives of iconic figures who were active while he was a professional writer. One of them, Brooks, is even still alive, aged 98, at the #book’s publication. But the claustrophobic constriction and end of the Golden Age goes to illustrate how, despite the brightness with which Brooks, Bernstein, Mailer, Friedan, and others, shone, the #Jewish #American Golden Age was frighteningly short-lived.

For Denby, the lesson is that American #Jews need to display assertive pride in the face of political tribulations."

I am re-reading "The Demon-Haunted World" by Carl Sagan, and some of the things that worried him about the #future, back in the 1990s, are, unfortunately, coagulating into a harsh and dangerous reality.

Even with the gloom here and there, I've almost forgotten the enthusiasm and love Sagan for science -- that is the light in the darkness. He is one of the reasons I became a scientist.

Réceptions!
Ils sont arrivés, ils sont beaux, ils n’attendent que vous depuis fin mars en librairie: les nouvelles éditions des deux premiers chants de la saga La dernière geste de Morgan of Glencoe !
Merci aux éditions Goater pour cette réédition tant attendue et bravo à Aliciane pour les nouvelles couvertures qui s’associent évidemment parfaitement aux marque-page déjà illustrés par elle que j’avais acheté il y a quelques temps.
Si vous ne connaissez pas, foncez découvrir cette saga aux personnages très attachants. C’est plein d’émotions, de belles idées, de rebondissements déchirants, inclusif et bourré d’espoir. Une lecture commune sur le tome 1 s’achève aujourd’hui par un live sur la chaîne Twitch de l’autrice ce 8 avril à 20h (vu le timing réception je ne l’aurai pas relu d’ici-là) et d’autres dates sont aussi prévues pour chacun des tomes.
Foncez ce sont des merveilles. Mes avis sur les tomes 1 à 3 sont sur le blog.

Merci également aux éditions Goater pour l’essai collectif « Comment écrire de la SF après la fin du monde? » offert pour l’achat de 2 livres de la collection Rechute à partir du 11 avril. Ça s’annonce passionnant ! La couverture est de Claire Malary.
