Feb 8, 2014: Washington Monthly: My response to Roxane Gay about public intellectuals and Dylan Farrow — Woody Allen week continues!
Salon writer Roxane Gay’s tendentious misreading of the Dylan Farrow post I published last week. Normally, I would shrug something like this off. But Gay’s piece has been approvingly linked to by writers I admire like Katie McDonough and Ann Friedman, and I don’t want people who haven’t read my earlier piece to get a false impression of my views. Also, Gay is a writer I respect — in fact, in this piece I called her “a wonderful writer who you all should be reading” and devoted an entire paragraph to singing her praises! Well, that’ll show me!
