Haven't seen that cover before. Not pleased with the portrait of Benjy or the cliché depiction of Dilsey, and not so sure about the circus monkey. But it's good to see a cover that I haven't seen before (and as a Faulkner scholar I've seen many covers of Le bruit et la fureur/The Sound and the Fury), and I hope you enjoyed the book!

Trump's Gatsby party last night. (When I heard on the radio this morning that he threw a Gatsby party at Mar-a-lago last night as he takes away millions of people's food & health care, I thought it was just an expression, but no, it was a literal Gatsby party.)
"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money . . . and let other people clean up the mess they had made." —The Great Gatsby

The only known portraits of enslaved Mississippians:
'We don’t know if either of these people had the choice to sit for the portrait. We don’t know if they had the choice of what they were wearing when they were painted. They certainly weren’t allowed to own their own portrait.'

“Window Cleaning,” by Aaron Douglas, oil on canvas, 1935, Sheldon Museum of Art.
I love this painting partly because it’s so different from the famous Aaron Douglas paintings, which I also love.

Open AI announces a new model that it says is good at creative writing.
Why do they want an AI model that is good at creative writing? It doesn't solve any problems. It doesn't make the world better.
