Didion had 'inspired a generation of young writers including this one' with work that 'skewered the trendy movements around her,'... She was ruthless and funny. She was not on your side. She wasn't on anyone's side. If Didion had been working these past few years, I have no doubt who she'd be writing about.
Bowles's subject in 'Morning After the Revolution' is what she variously refers to as 'the revolution,' 'the movement,' and 'the New Progressive' - more or less what Elon Musk would call 'the woke-mind virus'...
The Free Press styles itself as an antidote to the woke excesses of mainstream institutions, and 'TGIF' provides a weekly roundup of headlines on its pet concerns, garnished with Bowles's jesting commentary...
Bowles seems to be making a bid for Didion territory. Her title evokes 'On the Morning After the Sixties,' Didion's 1970 meditation on her fundamental alienation from the previous decade's idealism. Weiss declared her wife 'the lovechild of Tom Wolfe and Joan Didion.'
