Description
People sometimes call me a "public intellectual," which is probably a euphemism -- a polite way around the fact that I have no degrees, no institutionally recognizable field of specialization, and, indeed, no credentials of any kind, beyond the work you will find at this website.
As a teenager in the late 1970s, I discovered the work of Alfred Kazin, Seymour Krim, Paul Goodman, and Susan Sontag, among others. Also, punk rock and Marxist politics. Everything at this site ultimately can be traced back to that combination of influences.
In high school, a classmate described me to his sister as a New York Intellectual. It was a very odd moment. For one thing, I had never heard the expression before. Nor had I ever seen a copy of the Times, let alone been to New York. But what made being it really strange was the fact that we were living in the town of Wills Point, Texas, which had, at the time, a population of 2500 people. It may have expanded or contracted a little in 25 years. But a sign in downtown Wills Point still boasts that it is "Home of the 1965 State AA Football Champs." A moment of glory that will never die.
