Has anyone read the new Ta-Nahesi Coates book? I've loved his past work, but his interview with Ezra Klein was borderline bizarre. It felt like a professor trying to politely steer a smart grad student who clearly hadn't used his whole brain on a draft dissertation. And partway through, Coates literally says something like "It's a fair point that I didn't talk to anyone who might've disagreed with me. I should grapple with that more."
