As I’ve mentioned, The Corbett Report will be taking things slower for the next week or two. Expect less material to be posted to the website as I work on longer-term projects behind the scenes.
In the meantime, Corbett Report members are encouraged to read The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch by Philip K. Dick in preparation for the next edition of Film, Literature and the New World Order at the end of the month.
Also, make sure to check out (and contribute to!) the ongoing discussion in the August Open Thread.
And to keep you going for this Corbett-less stretch, Corbett Report members can log in and watch this month’s Subscriber Exclusive Video in the player below. In this video, I reflect on my brief, three-month stint as a fact checker at a textbook publisher in Calgary over two decades ago.

Hi James, amusing anecdote. Life is strange isn’t it, the way we seem to go around in loops but with a different perspective each time around. As far as fact checking goes, unless you know everything about everything then it’s all cherry picking isn’t it? There is a point where you know enough about a topic to be considered ‘informed’ and then your own analysis carries some weight but at what point does cherry picking become informed? I would love to know your opinion. Love your work, cheers from the chilly damp climes of eastern Oztralia.
