Read about travel, movie stars and an idea for a new press in March.
Autonomia began 2022 with a logo (included below) and a report on my visit to LA’s underground holocaust museum—the first in the U.S. to be founded by survivors—with a diorama of the only death camp where an armed mass revolt was successfully waged against Nazi Germany. I ended 2021 with a final article in my trilogy on Objectivist conferences.
Topics for March include Barbara Stanwyck in the revolving movie star series. Read about a first-time visit to the Deep South in a new travelogue. Articles are in progress.
February’s Autonomia includes a Wednesday with Greta Garbo—an extensive review of Garbo, Robert Gottlieb’s biography—in a revival of the movie star series. Tying the obituary of a murdered young woman into an incompetent mayor and Black Lives Matter, I face the heartbroken for the month’s love theme. Read a review of 2009’s dystopian The Road (if you’re a paid subscriber, you’re welcome to listen to me read the review here) and an Arizona travelogue about a Tucson resort as well as new threads, quotes and greetings with reader commentary, exchanges and additional resources on George Washington’s Birthday and Valentine’s Day. A new PBS adaptation of Jules Verne’s Around the World in 80 Days was also reviewed.
