Reviewing Books that Build Culture

THIS WEEK IN THE BOOKMAN  RYAN BARILLEAUX on dystopias real and imagined.  GLENN MOOTS on Yoram Hazony’s The Virtue of Nationalism.  TITUS TECHERA on master animator Hayao Miyazaki: Miyazaki seems to hesitate among the three elements of his thought: the innocence of children, the apocalyptic power of adults, and the possible grace of the world, beyond our power to control or predict. The reason for his hesitation can also be understood if we understand these elements. He cannot choose between adults and children without declaring, implicitly, that mankind is naturally evil or that evil is in fact an accident to be overcome.  JOSEPH BOTTUM and BENJAMIN JONES on the new Churchill biography.
