Who’s your favorite antihero or villain? Aaron the Moor from Shakespeare’s “Titus Andronicus.” My guy gets buried alive as punishment for his crimes and his final words are, “If one good deed in all my life I did/I do repent it from my very soul.” I have that tattooed on my arm.

This is a fabulous volume. I enjoyed the chance to think about how episodic memory fits into standard phil mind (spoiler: it doesn’t), and the other chapters are are all so fun and creative. A testament tk Devin and Louise’s lovely vision of philosophy of mind today. Highly recommend!

Spoiler Alert: we think yes! The gist: Antihero stories exploit features of narratives to give audiences a sustained confrontation with morally important models – not of ideal selves that they can aspire to be, but of feared selves that they might become if they are not careful and morally prepared.

Due to the eagerness of booksellers to use their space to serve their community, the influence of bookstores is growing, not shrinking. What’s that have to do with reading itself? Many stores’ missions include helping people reengage with reading at a time when doing so is more difficult than ever.

“From where I sit, bookstores are thriving precisely because they’ve adapted," Lemieux said. "Successful indies aren’t just retail stores anymore; they’re community spaces. People aren’t just coming in to purchase a book, they’re coming to belong to a literary community.”

I think that people are finding an outlet in the immediacy of places that invite unmediated curiosity—places like bookstores. At the heart of this development is the physical space itself, which many bookstores across the country are using as gathering spaces for their community

“I don’t think people have simply lost interest in reading,” said Katy Lemieux, one of the co-owners of Talking Animals Books, which is part of the post-pandemic explosion of new bookstores, opening in Grapevine, Texas, in 2023. “I think we’ve built a culture that leaves very little room for it.”

Book bans, decisions made by profit-driven publishers, attacks on public education, defunding of public libraries, the greed at the heart of our economy—rarely do these threats to reading get mentioned in the flourishing genre of essays about the death of literacy.

The alienation people are experiencing today—the mental toll of life in our technologically determined society, the crises of attention so many death-of-literacy pieces dine out on—are often the very forces that booksellers identify as driving the growth of their stores defector.com/what-do-book...
