Well it just gets harder everyday. What a deluge.
I'll share a quote from Zadie Smith from a piece entitled "On Optimism and Despair" in the Dec 22 edition of the New York Review of Books:
"At this moment, all over the world - and most recently in America - the conductors standing in front of this human orchestra have only the meanest and most banal melodies in mind. Here in Germany you will remember these martial songs; they are not a very distant memory. But there is no place on earth where they have not been played at one time or another. Those of us who remember, too, a finer music must try now to play it, and encourage others, if we can, to sing along."
