Broad Street Review welcomes letters from readers, since dialogue is central to what we do. Our goal is to revive Benjamin Franklin’s old tradition of public letter-writing in digital form. This isn’t a blog: All letters are subject to editing by the editor, who functions as gatekeeper. But we have more space for and interest in letters than you’re likely to find in, say, the New Yorker or the New York Times. To submit a response to any article, click the response link at the bottom of the article, or simply click .
