I was just having an "over the fence" conversation about this with my Ukrainian next door neighbour and we came to the conclusion that tolerance of the intolerant will be the undoing of the West (we are in Budapest - that bastion of illiberal democracy). Then I came indoors and found this latest article. I've just downloaded The Flying Inn on Audible and look forward to listening as I go about my day. This substack just keeps on giving. Thank you Andrew!
Unfortunately, the narrator’s voice is annoying so I’m going to return the book and read it on Kindle instead never mind I love these recommendations. Wondering where I can get victo Hugo‘s book on Shakespeare which Andrew mentioned in his wonderful talk
That's why I don't listen to audio books: you just have to have the right voice reading it. Mind you, when I do buy it in its proper paper version, I know already I'll be hearing it in Andrew's voice as he's the one who's enlightened me as to its existence
You mentioned "The Flying Inn" so I think to myself I'll have a look at that. I download a pdf of it and on the first page is the "n" word. Because you didn't give a trigger warning about the book I am now suffering from PTSD and have had go and lay down in my safe space room and start a crowd funder to buy a support dog to help me through my trauma.

Christopher Hitchens was reading Chesterton as he lay dying. What was he looking for? Was it perhaps this?
Excellent piece, Andrew and thanks for introducing me to The Flying Inn!!
