Hi Matt,
Yes, I'd like to read her whole speech too. Thanks for the story about the YA Twitter storm. I think it's very depressing, though it doesn't surprise me. Certain sections of the left seem intent on fighting the pettiest of battles motivated by a self-righteous censoriousness which is now having a genuine, though at present minor, effect on actual artistic expression. Often that of other people on the left. That can't be good. The Carlson-Wee thing has been covered here in detail, mainly by me and Andrew going at it at some length, with me no doubt going over the top at some points. But that's why I like the Sphere: length and nuance are allowed and people remain friends (usually!

I've never done Twitter. I don't think it's for me.
