...different religions answer these questions through courses in the Religion Department or at the Divinity School. But requiring that all students take a course about religion sends a clear message: Harvard does not look down upon the millions of people in this country and around the world who entertain the idea that there may be a God. In fact, such a requirement would show that Harvard requires its graduates to respect religion and acknowledge that religious people can be very intellectual.

He is, essentially, a modernist, miraculously preserved like a literary coelacanth from the age of Hemingway and Faulkner, writers of high style and high purpose without an iota of aw-shucks relatability. The future probably belongs to the Fraziers, the entertainers, who serve up their profundities with humor and sex and fisticuffs so they go down more easily. McCarthy would never stoop to entertain us, but there's a stripped-down intensity to his work that is just awesome. You sense that The Road, with its world empty of values...
