Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
10/3: civilized and stimulating
Today Chris and I hosted a dinner/discussion group with six students about Persepolis. We have a grant to host two of these reading groups this semester--all the students receive a copy of the book for free, and we get money to eat together at a local restaurant to talk about what we've read. I only knew one of the students in advance (he was in last year's reading group). It turned out to be a good collection of minds, thoughts, and personalities. Conversation seemed both easy and smart. It was a long day after a long week, but this was a great way to end it.
