Taking Down Ta-Nehisi Coates

I'm gaining a lot of respect for Rich Lowry, the editor of National Review, who is also a regular columnist at Politico.

Here's his review of Ta-Nehisi Coates' new book, "The Toxic Worldview of Ta-Nehisi Coates."

Read it all at the link. (Via Memeorandum.)

I'm not running out to get a copy, although I expect I'll read it soon enough. I'm a firm believer of not hammering a book until I've read it, although I've read enough of Coates' writing to have a pretty good heads up.

If you're interested, FWIW, at Amazon, Between the World and Me.
