Welcome to Reactions

A cultural notebook

This is occasional newsletter, featuring an initial flurry of posts on questions raised by my recent book (which is to say, shameless book promotion) and maybe eventually more intermittent posts on TV shows, genre fiction and children’s books.

All content is free, but if you want to encourage me to write more often, please consider buying the revised-and-updated paperback of The Decadent Society. The more copies this little venture helps me sell, the more obligation I’ll feel to write about, say, The Mandalorian or the collected works of Michael Crichton or The Butter Battle Book.
