Samantha writes beautifully about the importance of cultural studies and American literature today. Culture is the essential mate to history, and provides us with information documents and timelines can't explain. Culture exposes the soul under history's faltering heartbeat.

I have this vision of Samantha and I in offices across the hall from each other in our ivory tower, running back and forth with books, papers, origami cranes, who knows what.
