From my older bro’s FB comments on Jane Austen’s
Pride & Prejudice
Quote:
Without drawing direct parallels between Mr. Wickham and today’s deep American predicament, I might suggest that at the very least hiring Miss Austen as a ghost tweeter with veto powers over the clumsy and bellicose expression of imperial impulse would constitute a vast improvement, and possibly keep the ship of state from listing quite so perilously. Or so we could hope.
