Atomic Mythologies

If one were leftward leaning, and of a postmodernist bent, then EL
Doctorow's strange and haunting essay "Mythologizing the Bomb," the cover
(or what passes for one) story in the August 14 issue of the Nation might
be some interest. It was to me. But then I'm not one to equate the bombing
of Dresden with what we unleashed on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Namaste,

Steelhead
