I wrote an end-of-year essay trying to sort out why the last twelve months felt both exhilarating and hollow.

It’s about Trump, presentism, and why not all destruction is the same kind of rupture.

The perverse relief I felt in January was real. But rupture is not the same thing as reformation, and relief is not the same thing as renewal.
