Sasha Abramsky on the Culture Wars; D.D. Guttenplan on Cornel West; Francine Prose on "Vixen"

Public Libraries are often wonderful places, but they have become targets of right-wing attack in the culture war. Sasha Abramsky reports on the battle in one small town in Eastern Washington state. Also: Cornel West should not run as a 3rd party candidate, but in the Democratic Primaries--that’s what D.D. Guttenplan says – he’s editor of The Nation. Plus: A comic novel about Ethel and Julius Rosenberg? Who’d have thought that was possible? Francine Prose has written one: it’s called “The Vixen,” and it’s terrific. (recorded in July, 2021)
