Dissent Magazine

This article is amazing. It is a discussion of Orhan Pamuk's Snow, a novel I read a few years ago and found to be very impressive. This is well worth the considerable time it takes to read.

One minor issue I'll take with the article is simply this sentence:

"Genocide is so humanly inexplicable that we still don’t really grasp how it could happen;"

I know it's annoying when someone reads an entire article and they only cherry pick a single sentence for critique. But, it is one of the most simplistic statements I have ever read. I need to argue with this statement, but I'll need to address it later, I'm short on trime.
