A list of curiosities and texts and events that I will fail to write about at this time: for example, Monster/Beauty by Joanna Frueh, perhaps in relation to this Women on the Edge story. Or how about this review of Marina Warner’s Fantastic Metamorphoses, Other Worlds: Ways of Telling the Self (remember No Go the […]
I just spent an aimless hour in — oh, be still my beating heart! — the open, the wide wide open stacks of a university library. This sort of thing excites me tremendously since I might find it. Sometimes I have a plan, other times I wander until I sense an alluring combination of Dewey-isms […]
This is for my nephew and his bride; what are blogs for if not also for putting personal greetings on the www: Mario Nakazawa and Jeanne Epstein are getting married tomorrow — best of luck, you two!
