He was being honest about the way a mind actually works. Ulysses — One day. One city. One man buying a kidney for breakfast, ...

Every word Oscar Wilde published — the novel, the plays, the poems, the essays, the fairy tales, and the two masterpieces he wrote in disgrace — in a single authoritative edition.

He understood, better than almost anyone before or since, that style is not decoration but argument — that how you say something is inseparable from what you are saying. He paid for that understanding with two years in Reading Gaol and...

Rather, it begins with a reconstruction of how individuals from Africa, in the midst of the golden age of imperialism, created a sovereign society based on political imagination and a radical rejection of the colonial order, persisting even through the US occupation in 1915.

What if the resurrection of Jesus were treated not as an untouchable doctrine, but as a disputed historical event? For nearly two thousand years, Christians have proclaimed that Jesus performed miracles, died by crucifixion, rose physically from the dead, and appeared to his followers. Apologists argue that the evidence is overwhelming. Skeptics insist that extraordinary claims cannot be established through ancient religious texts. But what does the evidence actually prove?
