++Obama muses over a common culture and the public good and what a good life is. President Obama talked to Marilynne about the fear she writes about in her most recent essay. She muses about how certain candidacies this cycle feeds on this fear. Both talk about citizenship and how do you accept someone as a citizen if your fear him or her. Obama learns more from novels because they talk about the "greys" in the world and convey empathy. Marilynne zings Obama on competition not healthy as a basis of an economic system. Obama talks about Hamilton as a symbol of our cultural vibrancy. Marilynne remembers when a presidency was something to be achieved and was an accomplishment. Obama fears novels are fading,she says that our literatures is bursting that you're not finding our new authors.
++Wonderful conversation, Read it!
