Post mortem on Culture 11

Andrew Sullivan thought that Culture 11 was a big deal, and now it is gone. Sullivan laments.
But the loss of Culture 11 is, in my view, far worse than 14 lost jobs. It represented, at its best, a new and honest start for a thinking young conservatism, forged by a new generation of writers who, for the most part, were unafraid to think freshly - and showed up their elders by their courage and curiosity.

Perhaps. It is a bit depressing that it could not garner more support, ie money. I have to assume that what they were peddling is not selling, at least among the conservative crowd.

But one wonders where that "new generation of writers" is likely to go.
