  1. After a summer field ed course forced me to take a break from writing (usually due to hanging out in actual fields), I'm back on the #blog, wondering about categorical literary statements thanks to Tzvetan Todorov's musing on the #fantastic .

  3. Well, I was just logging book titles discussed in an upcoming , and the fact that I couldn't stop laughing at having typed "Snot Falling on Cedars" (as opposed to the correct "Snow Falling on Cedars") says all too much about the sort of day I'm having, and the easy amusement that's helping me get through it.

    Now envisioning Slimer lodged in a tree in some far north location.

  7. I was stupidly thrilled while reading my e-newsletter from @elcultural to find the word "letraheridos" (more or less "people hurt by letters") to describe what English might call or lovers—and now I'm wondering if the origins of this newer term have anything to do with declaring was hurt into ... Wherever it came from, I'm declaring it the best word I've heard in ages.

  10. This week's #HeadCold means I've surpassed a lifetime's worth of consumption of hot and sour #soup in a mere matter of days. That strangely wonderful feeling of your head sweating itself off down the back of your neck...

  11. Mark O'Connell in the 4/20 #NYRB on varieties of #antihumanism kills it. For ex., on David Benatar's assertion that life is always so bad, we'd be better off dead: "For instance: 'How often does one feel neither too hot nor too cold, but exactly right?' As of this writing, I will grudgingly concede that the room I am sitting in is a little on the chilly side, but not to the extent that I'm ready to succumb to cosmic pessimism; I can always put on a sweater."

  12. From G. S. Morson's Apr. 6 #NYRB #review of Bob Blaisdell's book on #Chekhov: asked for his bio, Chekhov responded, "In 1890 I made a trip to Sakhalin across Siberia... In 1891 I toured Europe, where I drank splendid wine and ate oysters. In 1892 I strolled with V. A. Tikhonov at [a writer's] name-day party... I have been translated into all languages with the exception of the foreign ones... I am a bachelor. I would like a pension."

    N.B., I would also like a pension.

  13. Got a leg up on #ArborDay & put a fig tree in the backyard. Because he's a #Chicago Hardy, his name is Carl (after #CarlSandburg). Hence, he can channel some big shoulders energy and spread out. And any time the #JohnDenver "Plant a Tree" song that haunted my childhood comes into my head, I'll lob back the hard-won determination of Sandburg's "The Road and the End," emphasizing

    "Where tall trees flank the way
    And shoulder toward the sky."

    (And yes, I *am* a huge dork.)

  14. Might just be the no-brain aftermath of finishing an exhausting project, but Andrew O'Hagan's 3/23/23 #NYRB review of a couple of #HBO histories featured an observation that made me laugh-choke on my #coffee:
    "Producing genuine #stories —to say nothing of making #art —is an expensive struggle, especially when so much of the young audience, raised on #TikTok, has an unquenchable desire for free content featuring dancing #cats and videos of their schoolmates being kicked in the nuts."

  15. On this day that's unparalleled at reminding me that I don't fit in, I reached for a new-to-me #translation of #Catullus, & am laughing out loud and loving Frank O. Copley's mid-20th-century English version of this #poet who may have been the original #Beat. Never in my life have I wanted so much to give a live #reading. From 13:
    "I got a perfume see
    it was a gift to HER
    straight from VENUS and CUPID LTD.
    when you get a whiff of that you'll pray the gods
    to make you... ALL NOSE"

  16. @CloudsGoBy There's some sort of great, yet-to-be-written #story in the spirit of #JulioCortázar titled "Training a Flatworm." And I LOVED #EntangledLife! #books #bookstodon

  17. Been reading #GastonBachelard today, @sbarolo, and came across this partial #sentence that somehow felt fitting for your best #words bracket: "... I look for refuge in a word which I begin to love for itself." (The Poetics of Reverie) In those increasingly rare moments when I'm able to turn a blind eye to his outdated takes on gender, I thoroughly enjoy pulling Bachelard's phrases out of context for my own use. #reading #books #booktodon

  18. Another random phrase I want to ponder for some reason: "the beginning of shelter," taken from a 1959 article by Ada Louise Huxtable.
    The fuller phrase read "... the accepted basis of since the beginning of shelter"—itself quoted by in his 11/3/22 article on .
    I'm trying to imagine what even the possibility of being able to identify the beginning of
    *any* sort of shelter, —physical, emotional, etc.—might be like or involve.
