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
2/24: enjoying the d'Aulaires again
Like many people, I have vivid memories of paging through the d'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths when I was young. The distinctive style of the d'Aulaires' illustrations and the size of the book itself tend to make a lasting impression. Because of its popularity I included it in my Myth & Children's Literature course. This evening I've been enjoying the smartness of the d'Aulaires' art in a way I never could have understood as a child. I'm glad for this opportunity to revisit an old favorite and see it with new eyes.
