I've been obsessed lately by the question of Jewish institutions—how the left is going to sustain Jewish life when it seems clear we can't participate in institutional life. This pod begins to open up some of these questions through the The CJM's recent controversy. 👂👂👂

It was such a huge honor to ask the greatest interviewer I know - the phenomenal (((David Naimon))) - a question. About questions! So much gratitude to Constance Malloy's The Burning Hearth for the invitation and to David, for this insight and wisdom 🪐❤️‍🔥🎆✨

'I’m interested in the gaps, in temporal delay, logical uncertainty, in contradiction and in nuance, all of which I think a question can conjure better than a story.' (((David Naimon)))‘s podcast has made me so much more attuned to the openings a question can provide. A treasure.

So grateful to Constance for this year together and this amazing last exchange between me and Maura Finkelstein about questions, and questioning questions

Excited to be a part of this anthology, along with so many writers I admire (e.g. Kazim Ali, Charles Baxter, Donika Kelly, Sofia Samatar, Asiya Wadud...). Out this December!

1.Last year BDS was a marginal strategy- today it's driving rebellion on 130 campuses in the US and around the world as students demand DIVESTMENT from holdings that build the Israeli economy and BOYCOTT of normalizing programs with Israeli state institutions.

💚💚💚 Just so thrilled about this. Praiseworthy, like all of Alexis Wright's work, is mind and life-shifting.

What a book.

'By demonizing a subversive racialized minority, moral panics offer comfort to a mainstream morality in crisis. Anyone who pays attention to the utter horror of Israel’s attack on Gaza, and keeps on supporting the state of Israel has good reason to worry about their complicity.'
