The elegant, elegiac Ta-Nehisi Coates
131
Bobbie Johnson
He was on “Fresh Air” yesterday and it was one of the best interviews I have heard in a long time. He thinks out loud. He would talk, rephrase, and revise what he was saying and it always got clearer. He was really fun to listen to. You watch, his current celebration will lead to a nasty backlash, which will be a shame. If he is a celebrity, he is an intellectual celebrity, and we have very few of those in this country.
