From Clay

We're made from clay but also from a spirit that is not of this world. Negotiations between the two are now in session. Meanwhile, you may find here some reviews, commentary, translations, short fiction, links to various articles, excerpted quotes, and anything else that has the potential to kindle, edify, or anger. There will also be posts about the Quran (Muslim scripture), its themes, vocabulary, and heroes (no preaching).

Violent deaths are a scourge in Chicago among school-age children, especially on the South Side, where I had once lived in my childhood (Walcott Avenue to be exact). It’s become a statistic to keep track of: the number of school-age children who are...

Expanded Comment about Polanski and Burqa

Oct 7, 2009
I don't know if it's new and improved or simply longer, but I have a fuller comment about the Polanski flap and the burqa. It's an indictment of a widening culture of duplicity that knows no borders. If you're interested, you may go here to the...
