Recently attended amazing @commonmag online craft class by author, journalist, Guggenheim Fellow @AnnaBadkhen. Inspiring note, paraphrased: 'When I sit down & start writing I want to do something to shift, to disturb, to illuminate, to bridge.' That's the higher goal & calling!

An excellent letter & thread carefully pointing out the reporting problems w this article. @jspotila is too professional to say so, but @NYMag has egg on its face. A correction is in order.

If the curtain truly is falling, a final plea to the void: support/subscribe to lit mags. Some of the most exciting literature published in American can be found in their pages.
