Sloane Crosley: “How Sober Should a Writer Be?” Sloane Crosley on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s On Booze and the state of American drinking culture.

"For all of Dorothy Parker’s quips about cocktails and Bukowski’s bromides about beer, Fitzgerald’s prose alcohol content remains unmatched." Amid a cultural turn to sobriety, Sloane Crosley rereads the original “poet inebriate.”

There are many arguments today about why art matters: it is a form that authenticates what is most human about humanity; it celebrates and affirms the diversity of cultures and identities; it upholds values of individual freedoms; it is a good pedagogical tool for teaching social and political ideas; it is a sound economic investment; it gives pleasure. Among these competing claims, I want simply to add one more, and a fairly prosaic one at that: that the experience of art saves us from being conned. The Potency of Art Paul Chan Social Research: An International Quarterly Volume 83, Number 1, Spring 2016 Read Free thru 31 October Illustrated with the Spring 2016 cover of Social Research

Among the myriad ways art matters, writes Paul Chan, "the experience of art saves us from being conned"

Sloane Crosley: “How Sober Should a Writer Be?” Sloane Crosley on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s On Booze and the state of American drinking culture.

With alcohol consumption in America at historic lows, is the boozy-author archetype a thing of the past? For our Essay of the Week, Sloane Crosley traces how Fitzgerald endures as its brightest—and bleakest—example.

"To put enforcement by 'embodied AI' on the sidewalks and into buildings, the [CCP] party-state wants to deploy humanoid robots run by AI and with physical limbs whose abilities will soon rival or surpass those of humans," warns Valentin Weber.
