Many readers of this blog will be familiar with the work of Arthur Goldhammer, who has long been the preeminent translator of French non-fiction into English (recently, he has branched into fiction is well). In addition to the scores of books he has translated, Goldhammer is also a brilliant Tocqueville scholar and an astute, knowledgeable observer of French politics, society and culture. So it is with great pleasure that I report that Goldhammer has now launched his own "French Politics" blog. Anyone interested in the subject will find it instructive, thought-provoking, and entertaining.
