From Tyler Peckio, Zeteo Contributor 28 January 2013 Hollywood loses the plot Every Thursday for the past month myself, and a few friends from my undergraduate studies, meet up and discuss an agreed upon book. We always make an effort, no matter how abstract the content is, to establish connections between the material and our current lives (whether in an existential, political, economical, or societal way). Philosophical material should be read as a living, breathing, constantly evolving thing—not as something existing in […]

The Destruction of a Presidency

January 21, 2013 by William Eaton

The Destruction of a Presidency By Alan Stein Review of The Eve of Destruction: How 1965 Transformed America by James T. Patterson (Basic Books, 2012) In his new book, James T. Patterson, a Bancroft Award-winning historian, promotes the idea that the Sixties actually began in 1965. This is not a new idea. As the author points out in his introduction, numerous writers have described 1965 as a “hinge” or turning point for America. Patterson states: “After 1965 for better and […]

From Maribí Henriquez, Zeteo Contributor 20 January 2013 My Sundays are dedicated to entertaining reads, and in my case, that means catching up with my list of fictional must-reads. I love stories of women, and Junot Diaz has an interesting way of empowering the Dominican woman through his cultural stories of love. I finally caught up to reading his latest book of short stories This Is How You Lose Her and am fighting the urge to compare it to his […]

Reading 13-19 January 2013 (ZiR) Fritz Tucker, Zeteo Assistant Editor [One in an ongoing series of posts. For the full series see Zeteo is Reading.] 13 January 2013 As a (possibly) soon-to-be adjunct professor, I have been keeping an eye out for any sociological critiques of pop-culture to lure my unsuspecting (hypothetical) students into criticizing about the world around them. I came across this article about The Berenstain Bears in The New York Observer‘s Scooter Magazine. It turned out to be […]

Reading 6-13 January 2013 (ZiR) Caitlin Mackaman [One in an ongoing series of posts. For the full series see Zeteo is Reading.]   6 January 2013 Sundays seem like the ideal day to make a dent in one of Wally Lamb’s lengthy, emotionally taxing novels, like The Hour I First Believed. At the core of this work of fiction is the very true event of the Columbine High School shootings. Lamb’s characters struggle to make sense of the chaos around them […]
