#3GoodThings (about literature)
1. My students really enjoyed William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily," & we had a great time talking about it (& one student even knew the Zombies song named after the story; we all listened to it & had a good laugh).
2. A student from my first-year comp. class won a writing award for her essay on Edgar Allan Poe's "The House of Usher."
3. A student who is writing a thesis under my direction won a writing award for her essay on Rachel Cusk's Outline.

1. My husband's sugar was very high. Through diet and exercise, he has been able to cut it down to a normal range.
2. A neighbor said how pretty our front yard is looking. It's a work in progress and I'm loving doing it. Photo attached.
3. My students did a great job discussing 2 short stories: Willa Cather's "Paul's Case" and the anonymously published (and oh so contemporary) 1857 story, "The Man Who Thought He Was A Woman."

We were discussing Henry V in class yesterday, and a student was having trouble with the final scene between Henry and Katharine. She asked: “Henry just won the Battle of Agincourt. He’s happy, his soldiers are happy, the audience is happy, Joseph Campbell is happy. Why does #shakespeare include it?”
It gave me a chuckle. Sometimes there are lighthearted stories coming out of the classroom.

📰 Começamos o ano com uma recomendação de leitura, via @Publico, cujo crítico considera "Eça de Queirós no Egipto e a Abertura do Canal de Suez", de Teresa Pinto Coelho, "um trabalho de investigação provavelmente definitivo sobre a viagem de Eça ao Egipto para assistir à faustosa inauguração do Canal de Suez". 💪

#Ursula K. Le Guin on #writing: the freedom, the loneliness, the difficulty.
"You sit down and you do it, and you do it, and you do it, until you have learned how to do it. Of course, there are differences. Writing makes no noise, except groans, and it can be done anywhere, and it is done alone."

One change this semester: I no longer required students to write papers in the dread five-paragraph format. It has been very liberating for some. If we are asking them to think independently, why shouldn’t they also express themselves outside of the cookie cutter? Though I begin many a comment now with: “Disclaimer: a freshman comp instructor probably wouldn’t approve. But I am not a freshman comp instructor.”

📖 Elisa Scaraggi analysed "Mário Pinto de Andrade’s efforts to raise solidarity with Angola in Brazil", mapping "Andrade’s collaborations with intellectuals and journalists who supported the independence of #Angola and understand how the discourse about the Angolan liberation struggle was articulated in #Brazil".

#EmilyDickinson was born today in 1830. What's your favorite poem of hers? So many to choose from. Here's one of mine.
The Brain—is wider than the Sky—
For—put them side by side—
The one the other will contain
With ease—and you—beside—
The Brain is deeper than the sea—
For—hold them—Blue to Blue—
The one the other will absorb—
As sponges—Buckets—do—
The Brain is just the weight of God—
For—Heft them—Pound for Pound—
And they will differ—if they do—
As Syllable from Sound— -
Following from my earlier post about Ada Evans of Newcastle-Emlyn, here's the next part in how she became the famous writer 'Allen Raine'. In this second part, I'm sketching the scope of her work and set it in context of her own life.

I can't believe it was 12 years ago that Chris Looby and I edited American Literature's Aesthetic Dimensions. The essays really hold up -- Eric Lott on the #Carpenters, Trish Loughran on #Melville, to name just two of the many excellent contributions. On December 2, #Columbia UP is having a 50% sale on all books (discount code CYBER) , including mine and Chris's, and 70% on selected others (discount code 70OFF).
Check out Columbia's terrific list!

LitHub published a piece today on #memoir and discussed how so few were listed in the top 100 best books of the past 25 years. #Didion's Year of Magical Thinking was on it, which is one of the greatest memoirs/books I've read. Here are three of my other favorites (there are more!). How about you?

Percival Everett's brilliant James won the National Book Award for Fiction. If you haven't read it, you must! And if you haven't read Huck Finn (ever or recently), you might want to read that first. Everett wrote the story that Twain couldn't. It's really an extraordinary accomplishment. We're so lucky he gave us this gift (and The Trees and Erasure and so many more amazing novels).

Finally read #TejuCole's Open City (2011) & this passage, along with others referencing #Said, #Benjamin, #Didion, #Melville, #Coetzee, about plagues really stood out : "I read somewhere recently that the city of Leiden lost thirty-five percent of its population in a five-year period in the 1630s. What could it mean to live with such a possibility, with people of all ages dropping dead around you all the time? The thing is we have no idea" (200-201).

An especially powerful passage (and there are many) from #Ernaux's "I remain in darkness." "For the first time, I have a clear picture of what her life must be like in this place, in between my visits; the meals in the dining room, the waiting. I am accumulating bags of guilt for the future. But letter her stay at my place would have meant the end of my life. It was either her or me. I can remember the last sentence she wrote: 'I remain in darkness.'"
