Elena Ferrante is Elena Ferrante. Period.
Nope, I am not going to link to the loathsome article that "outs" Elena Ferrante. I am not going to read it, either. She asked for privacy and anonymity. She committed no crime. She wrote, I hope will write, spectacular... Continue reading

The Old Coot (me) rants about you soft kids (yes, you, John Oliver) and your Port Authority complaints
I try not to say this too often, but if you didn't visit/live in NYC inthe 1970s and 80s, you don't really have a clue about how hellish public spaces could get.
