Although Kraus could sound like an elitist, and although he considered the right-wing antisemites idiotic, he wasn\u2019t in the business of denigrating the masses or lowbrow culture; the calculated difficulty of his writing wasn\u2019t a barricade against the barbarians. It was aimed, instead, at bright and well-educated cultural authorities who embraced a phony kind of individuality\u2014people Kraus believed ought to have known better.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not clear that Kraus\u2019s shrill, ex cathedra denunciations were the most effective way to change hearts and minds. But I confess to feeling some version of his disappointment when a novelist who ought to have known better, Salman Rushdie, succumbs to Twitter. Or when a politically committed print magazine that I respect, <i>n+1<\/i>, denigrates print magazines as terminally \u201cmale,\u201d celebrates the Internet as \u201cfemale,\u201d and somehow neglects to consider the Internet\u2019s accelerating pauperization of freelance writers. Or when good lefty professors who once resisted alienation\u2014who criticized capitalism for its restless assault on every tradition and every community that gets in its way\u2014start calling the corporatized Internet \u201crevolutionary,\u201d happily embrace Apple computers, and persist in gushing about their virtues.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, to celebrate the launch of our Fall issue, we will preview a few of our favorite footnotes from \u201cAgainst Heine,\u201d Jonathan Franzen\u2019s translation of the Austrian writer Karl Kraus.
