Ezra Klein
“@ConceptualJames @CHSommers @robertwrighter @philosophybites Hi James I praised Manne's book in my @NewYorker article and my interview with @philosophybitesand I particularly liked its rich critique of dehumanization theory. Instead of accusations of sexism, why not tell me where you think this critique (hers or mine) goes wrong | Anyway, lots to chew on here. And if you haven't yet, read Manne's book "Down Girl." I think it's one of a few essential texts for understanding politics (and American life) today.”

Consider The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy. Recommended by 8 sources.
“Soft-spoken, heavily illustrated fable built from short dialogues and watercolor sketches. Each spread pairs a spare line of text with a loose drawing, so the pleasure is visual and aphoristic rather than narrative; readers collect felt-true sentences more than plot. Most useful when you want quick consolations, a prompt for conversation with a child, or a pause during a rough day. Limiting if you want sustained argument, concrete advice, or tightly plotted storytelling: the repetition of gentleness can feel sentimental or thin after a while.”
