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
8/16: more twombly in my future?
In July I wrote about my happiness at seeing the Twombly/Poussin exhibit in London. Today I got an email from a scholar in Canada who is putting together a conference panel on Twombly's relationship to Classical antiquity; she had read an article I had written some years ago about Twombly's Fifty Days at Iliam, and she asked me if I'd be interested in being part of the panel. It's sweet to hear that someone (who isn't a friend or relative) has read something I've written, and it's a nice prospect to develop some further thoughts on Twombly.
That is so cool. Congrats on making a new connection.
