When the college at which I teach, @dartmouth, does wrong by its people—students, staff, faculty, neighbors—I tweet about it. Invariably I’m accused by some of disloyalty. This time, too. Nah. This is what being part of a community means: we pay attention.

There is a certain superstition we practice about media — spooky action from a distance that threatens to get in. Social media, books, movies, radio, whatever…it’s a contagion fear or a possession fear. Readers are like porous vessels vulnerable to the mere presence of words.
There is no particular stability in the social conditions of texts. Sometimes a book goes from being required and key to a sign of unforgivable thinking to required again. There is a fantasy underneath these impulses: words do things to people. It’s a wish.
