Blog Roundup: Elitism, Mimicry, and Shirley Jackson (American Genius)

It’s Wednesday! Here’s some stuff for you to read:

Peter Lawler has a quiz over at Postmodern Conservative : your choices are TRUE, FALSE, or ESSAY.

Peter Leithart has a post on Exodus and also a post on mimesis : “Are any of these [societal] roles me, or am I someone else who plays these roles, or am I perhaps the sum of all of them?”

Dr. Boli reads the mail .

Here at First Thoughts , R. R. Reno calls for a new Christopher Lasch.

On the Square today, we have George Weigel’s review of George Rutler’s new book, and B. D. McClay wants to you to read Shirley Jackson.

(If you already read Shirley Jackson, enter this short story contest in order to complete one of her unfinished stories. It seems you will not be compensated in money, but I’m sure you’ll receive endless glory.)
