  Unguessed Kinships - Naturalism...

  Steven Frye

  It took six novels and nearly thirty years for Cormac McCarthy to find commercial success with All the Pretty Horses, followed by major prizes, more bestsellers, and Hollywood adaptations of his work. Those successes, though, have obscured McCarthy's commitment to an older form of literary expression: naturalism. McCarthy's work tends to darker themes: violence, brutality, the cruel indifference of nature, themes which would not be out of place in the writing of Jack London or Stephen Crane. But literary naturalism is more than the oversimplified Darwinism that many think of. Nature may be red in tooth and claw, and humans are part of nature, but the humanity depicted in naturalist literature is capable of love, selflessness, and spirituality, as well. 
   
   
   
  In Unguessed Kinships, Steven Frye illuminates all these dimensions of McCarthy's work. In his novels and plays, McCarthy engages both explicitly and obliquely with the project of manifest destiny, in the western drama Blood Meridian, the Tennessee Valley Authority-era Tennessee novels, and the atomic frontier of Alamogordo in Cities of the Plain. McCarthy's concerns are deeply religious and philosophical, drawing on ancient Greek philosophy, Gnosticism, and Nietzsche, among other sources. Frye argues for McCarthy not merely as a naturalist writer but as a naturalist in the most expansive sense.

  How do we overcome polarization in American society? How do we advocate for justice when one side won't listen to the other and cycles of outrage escalate? 
   
   
   
  These questions have been pressing for years, but the emergence of a vocal, virulent Christian nationalism have made it even more urgent that we find a way forward. 
   
   
   
  In three brief, incisive chapters Pamela Cooper-White uncovers the troubling extent of Christian nationalism, explores its deep psychological roots, and discusses ways in which advocates for justice can safely and effectively attempt to talk across the deep divides in our society.

  The Dust Bowl - America's Great...

  The Dust Bowl was one of the most devastating environmental disasters in American history, affecting the Great Plains during the 1930s. A combination of severe drought, poor agricultural practices, and economic hardship led to massive dust storms, which wiped out crops, destroyed farmland, and caused widespread suffering. The impact of the Dust Bowl was felt not only in the affected regions but throughout the nation, as it brought attention to the fragile relationship between human activity and the environment. 
  The Great Plains, which stretches across parts of Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado, was once a region of rich soil and expansive farmland. As settlers moved westward in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the area became a major agricultural hub, known for wheat production. However, the rapid expansion of farming techniques, including over-plowing and monoculture farming, had unintended consequences. The deep-rooted grasses that once protected the soil from erosion were removed, leaving the land vulnerable to the forces of nature. 
  In the early 1930s, the region experienced a prolonged drought, which exacerbated the situation. Without the natural protection of grasslands, the dry, cracked soil was easily swept up by strong winds, creating massive dust storms that could last for days. These "black blizzards" blotted out the sun and coated everything in a thick layer of dust, suffocating both people and animals. The economic hardships of the Great Depression, which had already affected the nation, further intensified the crisis, leaving farmers struggling to survive.

  Impeach - The Case Against...

  Why President Trump has left us with no choice but to remove him from office, as explained by celebrated Supreme Court lawyer and former Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal. No one is above the law. This belief is as American as freedom of speech and turkey on Thanksgiving—held sacred by Democrats and Republicans alike. But as celebrated Supreme Court lawyer and former Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal argues in Impeach, if President Trump is not held accountable for repeatedly asking foreign powers to interfere in the 2020 presidential election, this could very well mark the end of our democracy. To quote President George Washington’s Farewell Address: “Foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government.” Impeachment should always be our last resort, explains Katyal, but our founders, our principles, and our Constitution leave us with no choice but to impeach President Trump—before it’s too late.  Read by Christopher Ryan GrantCHRISTOPHER RYAN GRANT  is an actor and voice artist based in New York City.
