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
6/2: so tender
I'm still listening to The Last Chronicle of Barset on my iPod as I walk. It's a long book, so I've been listening to it for months, but I don't mind because I love it very much. Since I've read the book a number of times, there's an extra pleasure as I listen in being able to remember that this-or-that detail is just about to come up. Tonight I reached a wonderful chapter about the aging Septimus Harding; Trollope presents it all so beautifully and carefully.
