Hemingway is an opinionated writer, one with whom I don’t always agree but from whom I always have something to learn. Gibson’s sustained twitter campaign seems to reflect a belief that there is something especially deserving of scrutiny, and perhaps of contempt, in Hemingway’s tweets. I think that there instead may be something deserving of scrutiny in Gibson’s replies. He seems to think it somehow telling to single out her tweets. I’m happy to do the same for his. As ever, let the reader decide.
Matthew Schmitz is deputy editor of First Things.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
