“Savor Flavor!” That’s good advice for enjoying food. But it’s also good advice for enjoying language. For example, I like alliteration because it adds flavor to writing and reading. I also like the American spellings in “Savor Flavor.” They’re simpler and sharper than the British spellings in “Savour Flavour.” And they’re the original spellings, the […]
Thunderclap: A Memoir of Art and Life & Sudden Death Laura Cumming (Chatto and Windus, 2023) Reading is richer for racists. That’s on the good side.

It’s thanks to a falsehood-smashing truth-technique recently deployed at Spiked Online. That’s the headquarters of the Trotskyist libertarians who fight for a better world under the guidance of the Jewish sociologist Frank Furedi. […]
The book I remembered; the author I forgot. Not that I ever read the book. I just read about it in Anthony Burgess’s Ninety-Nine Novels: The Best in English since 1939 – A Personal Choice (1984).
