CW: tw: David Foster Wallace & Samuel Johnson, satire and existentialist self-harm
An unexpectedly interesting compare and contrast: Samuel Johnson & David Foster Wallace.
They go a little hard on Wallace for having committed suicide, but it is a Divinity school podcast after all so... not surprising and there is a valid insight there: Going easy on yourself means going easy on others, compassion is born of faith, hope and charity. How to makes such old platitudes fresh again though? Satire, for starters. See also: Sun Ra, Devo, The Residents.

Ah, shit. RIP Fredric Jameson.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/23/books/fredric-jameson-dead.html
I did not usually agree with him—as a postgrad, one of my professors jokingly called me a “postmodern hardliner”—but still surprisingly often. He was eloquent and insightful and often brilliant. It was always a pleasure to read him, and think really hard about what he had to say. He will be missed.

I've spent the last two days reading and rereading Ishion Hutchinson's brand new book, a conversation with David Jones and British history. A book about the West Indian soldiers in WW1, intertwined with a tale of West Indian boyhood in the 1990s, this is the third volume of poetry by one of the best and most important poets of our time.

#otd in 1849, Sarah Orne Jewett was born. If you liked Ursula K. LeGuin's "Always Coming Home" (which is seemingly currently being reprinted everywhere) you should have a look at Jewett's "Country of Pointed Firs" which LeGuin admired.

This looks great! Anyone know if Peter Zarrow did the translation?

You shouldn't try to read Thomas Wolfe while you're young and optimistic. You'll just set the books aside, calling them a vast emission of wordy, self-absorbed emotionalism. Instead, wait until you're in your fifties or later. Read his work then, and relish the satisfaction of having been right the first time.
