In the hopes of encouraging a more civil, and illuminating, discourse, here is another episode of William F. Buckley, Jr.’s “Firing Line”.
The complaints about how attention spans have shortened and the technological equivalent of a sugar high have harmed young Americans, complete with the destruction of morals, is not a new one. Let us look back forty years when this and more was discussed with novelists Bret Eaton Ellis, Fernanda Eberstadt, and William F. Buckley Jr. who asked “what are our young novelists up to?”
Until next Friday.
