The Fall and Rise of Bowie
It’s easy to start a fight between David Bowie fans: Simply ask them to name his best album. Thanks to Bowie’s rare combination of talent and industriousness, a case could easily be made for at least half a dozen of his 26 studio records, each boasting a unique sound. How can anyone compare The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars to Scary Monsters?

A Novel Way to Approach Death
Everyone loves Julian Barnes. I don’t know of any other novelist who has been praised by both David Bowie and Angela Merkel. He has also been praised by Philip Larkin, Graham Greene, and John Updike, even if Updike referred to him as “an English television critic,” which Barnes was at the time. (Updike was reviewing […]

Some Soviets Were Less Equal Than Others
It is the easiest of questions, it is the most difficult of questions: “Why are the Jews leaving the Soviet Union?” asks Emil Bezverkhny. He writes throughout the latter half of the 20th century, each chapter in his posthumously published The Penny is Gone a capsule preserving the maddening, almost otherworldly qualities of being a Jew, a scientist, just a man, in that time and place. It’s easy to see why Jews are leaving the Soviet Union. They are second-class citizens in the nation that promised such a concept was anathema to its very existence. They are kept out of jobs they deserve, left to destitution and dishonor, neither allowed to practice the Mosaic law nor the new secular religion of science and development of the rational faculties.

From Desecration to Consecration
In this compact, highly readable book treating issues about which he has also written elsewhere, Carl Trueman examines how it is that, at least on his telling, our world has become one in which limits are no longer meaningful moral boundaries but, rather, obstacles to be overcome. What we have lost, he says, is the sense that every human being is made in the image of God. But it is not as if this belief has just slipped away gradually, no longer making sense in a disenchanted world. Trueman’s claim is stronger. Our culture now takes delight in surpassing and setting aside old limits that were thought to characterize our humanity. The problem is not disenchantment but desecration—the transgressing of older moral limits.

Letter to the Editor: Who’s Censoring Whom?
Nicholas Clairmont’s review of Jacob Siegel’s The Information State: Politics in the Age of Total Control (“Tyranny Through Technology,” March 29, 2026) calls it “careful and specific” and “unimpeachably sourced.” I am one of the book’s caricatured villains and I want to address the sourcing and specificity directly.
