Stamford after Brunch by John Currin (2000)

Currin's style has been described as "American grotesque," which I think is apt.

I guess I should officially announce that my book on the prose hagiography of Venantius Fortunatus (530-609) is coming out this summer:
So grateful for the mentors and colleagues who gave these chapters a look over the years.

The nice thing about #mastodon is that people from your past can still stalk you but they'll never figure out how to make an account and comment.

Fedi, I need your help.
I found this chipmunk sitting still but breathing and he only walks sluggishly when I approach him. Seems to be breathing hard
What can I do to help the little guy?

"Fallon acts as the high priest of a terrified optimism, his rictus grin serving as a shield against the encroaching silence of the real. Here, in the sanitized, over-lit heart of the American culture industry, there is an inescapable horror. But it isn't a monster lurking in the shadows; it is the manic, unblinking insistence that actually, there are no shadows at all."

I need to brush up on my early Islam anyway, but this seemed timely.
As the title says, basically a literary-cultural analysis of early versions of the Karbala story to show how it became such an important part of Shi'ite identity.
