Some posts to start your year with if you haven’t already seen them. This one, at Eamonn Fitzgerald’s Rainy Day, introduced me to a blog I didn’t previously know about and came upon thanks to Anne Cunningham. Then, Oliver Kamm has a couple of new mini-essays – All Gas and Gaiters, and Marching with Stalinists – both of which I recommend. And, via Jackie D, I was sent to this post by James Lileks.
