In 2022, Philip Slayton started publishing The Endgame, a Substack where he contemplates a world in which few moves remain, victory or defeat are close at hand, and options are limited and rapidly diminishing. That all seemed a little melancholic to me, which struck me as odd: Slayton has had a long and varied life and career as a Rhodes scholar, law professor, law school dean, Bay Street lawyer, and, for the last twenty or so years, as a writer of eight books - so I wanted to find out what was up. We talk about his writing, including his most recent book in which he explores antisemitism and how best to respond to it, and his concerns about free expression and identity politics. You can read and subscribe to The Endgame on Substack at https://philipslayton.substack.com/ and you can find out more about Slayton's work at https://philipslayton.com/. His most recent book, Antisemitism: an ancient hatred in an age of identity politics, is available from Sutherland House at https://sutherlandhousebooks.com/product/antisemitism/
