If you’re a fan of The Wire (and if you’ve seen it, you’re a fan), you’ll be interested in the latest issue of darkmatter. You’ll need to cut through the needlessly verbose language, but it looks like there are some interesting ideas there. For instance, this piece on “white negroes” makes me want to revisit the Sobotkas; I’m also interested to read about the show’s alleged antisemitism given David Simon’s own Jewish background. Plenty to sink your teeth into. [via]
