Welcome to Elizabeth Nickson’s current “Absurdistan”!

Once again, I am utterly flabbergasted by Elizabeth Nickson’s long and extremely comprehensive substack post. Read this long, detailed essay all the way through; absorb this globe-trotting Canadian journalist’s deep, multilayered, grounded, far reaching perspective on current events, and you will come away with a sense that, despite appearances, things are indeed looking up.

No wonder her perspective is so far-reaching. Check out her bio:

Then there’s her 2015 account of her “Long Journey Home from the Left.” I get it; believe me, I get it.

I would be interesting to note how her perspective has mutated since 2015. Because you know she does not stand still. Nor is she one to wear what I call an impermeable conceptual helmet. Instead, more than most people, she continues to absorb more and more of the world’s chaotic intensity while still managing to use her prolific gifts of language to create meaning.

I now want to read every single thing she’s ever written!
