The Full Catastrophe

About the Substack

A newsletter 75 years in the making: Memories of the journey from a 4-room adobe with no running water to the Ritz Carlton. Personal encounters with great artists. Rants about the appalling state of civil society in our time.

About Jack Haynes

Retired Arts CEO. Now an arts consultant and mentor to arts leaders. Leftist since 1963. Appalled by the fraying of civility. Love: dogs, jazz, gardening, copious red wine, silence, New Mexico, and Beauty - in all its fleeting forms.
