I think Andrew Sullivan is too modest here in describing his contribution to Late Victorians. Those who know him principally as an author, blogger, and commentator may be surprised at the nuance and authority he brings to Richard Rodriguez’s text. But he was better known at Oxford as an actor than as a political thinker; and as recently as seven years ago was playing Benedick for Washington Shakespeare Company. I knew on hearing him speak in Amsterdam that he’d understand the weight and power of Richard’s words; and I think the eloquence of the performance speaks for itself. More to be grateful for in a season of thanksgiving.
