Story
Dismissed by a bored author at a book signing, a betrayed young man named David Sedaris made a vow. Someday, when it was his turn at the table, he’d connect with his readers. The experience has been even more revealing than he’d hoped.In this hilarious and perceptive essay, the celebrated humorist reflects on the unusual patterns of forced socialization between author and audience, and the obligations and sometimes surprising returns of not-so-chance encounters with strangers: jokes, secrets, insights, and even charity.

Story
In 1860, a sloop drifted into New York Harbor. Not a soul on board - just blood from cabin to deck. Looted coins led to Bowery thug Albert Hicks, the ax slayer who turned his shipmates into chum. His crimes were absolutely fiendish. His execution was pure ballyhoo. It drew nearly ten thousand bloodthirsty sightseers to the city - including the enterprising showman P. T. Barnum. Refreshments were served as the most notorious and unrepentant mass murderer of the era made history as one of America’s first celebrity killers.

Story
At a remote little inn not far from the Kansas homestead of Laura Ingalls Wilder lived the Bender family. These pioneers welcomed unwary visitors with jackrabbit stew and a sledgehammer to the skull. In time, their apple orchard gave up its secrets - a burial ground for their mutilated victims, each stripped of their possessions. The devilish enterprise on “Hell’s Half-Acre” would earn the Bloody Benders an undying place in the annals of American infamy. But it was the mysterious fate of eldest daughter, Kate, that would make them the stuff of mythic campfire prairie tales.

Story
With makeup and an affected Elvis pout, Tucson’s Charlie Schmid was a crude parody of a bad-boy heartthrob. In 1964, he still had a hold on girls who’d follow him anywhere. He murdered three of them. It was the dawn of the free-love movement - perfect for a magnetic madman who’d also foreshadow its end a few years later in the malignant charisma of Charles Manson. The inspiration for a classic story by Joyce Carol Oates, Schmid, the most bizarre serial killer of any era, was the epitome of a narcissist flattered into believing he could get away with murder.

Story
During the Depression, economic anxieties found an outlet in a series of child murders that triggered an irrational nationwide hysteria: pedophiliac psychopaths were overrunning the country. As America was brought to rage and fury by the press and the FBI, lynch mobs took to the streets, reason gave way to doomsday scenarios, and one father was even driven to murder his three daughters to “save them” from a degenerate crime wave. A terrifying cautionary essay, Panic explores the combustible mix of unfounded fears, moral crusades, and the dangers of collective thinking.

Story
堀江貴文さんつくった「755」というトークアプリで堀江貴文さんと対談した。 この対談で思ったことは、「やっぱり多くの日本人(特に若者)が、問題の本質を認識していないのではないか?」という疑いだった。この疑いはかねてから抱いていたが、それが強化された形だ。 堀江さんには若者のファンが多いが、ぼくははっきりいって彼らのほとんどが堀江さんを誤解していると思う。どう誤解しているかというと、「堀江さんが新しい道を切り拓いて実力主義の社会を作ることで、今、老害世代に虐げられている自分たちにもチャンスが巡ってくるのではないか」というふうにだ。(本文より) 岩崎夏海の「ハックルベリーに会いに行く」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/huckleberry.html

内田樹&平川克美メールマガジン「大人の条件」2016年9月号より ■『国際市場で逢いましょう』2014年の公開以来、韓国歴代2位、1400万人の動員を数えた韓国映画『国際市場で逢いましょう』。この映画をご覧になった方はいらっしゃいますか。 第二次世界大戦後、ある韓国人の家族の70年を、特にその主人公がどのように生きたかを描いた映画です。日本にも同じような時代を描いた『三丁目の夕日』という映画がありますが、映画の中で起きる出来事は日本と韓国ではずいぶん違います。大戦後の日本という国と朝鮮半島の国々の政治や暮らしの状況はまるで違ったからです。一部映画のネタバレがありますが、日韓の歴史を振り返ってみましょうか。(本文より) 内田樹&平川克美の「大人の条件」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/uchida.html
