Little morality plays
This week, on the ABR Podcast, Catriona Menzies-Pike reviews The Cancel Culture Panic by Adrian Daub. Menzies-Pike examines Daub’s claim that fear of cancel culture is a US export – as ubiquitous as McDonald’s and Kentucky bourbon. She writes: ‘Cancel culture is now everywhere … What Daub does in this book is trace the origins of the cancel culture panic, registering its defining contradictions.’ Catriona Menzies-Pike was the Editor of the Sydney Review of Books between 2015 and 2023 and was awarded the Pascall Prize for arts criticism in 2023. Here is Catriona Menzies-Pike with ‘Little morality plays: Disingenuous angst over cancel culture’, published in the April issue of ABR.
