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
2/12: where credit's due
Truth be told, I'm not generally a fan of Jeanette Winterson's work. I read one of her novels years ago, and more recently I stopped early on while reading another (and I don't usually abandon novels midway). But I enthusiastically give her credit today: I read her excellent critique of Frederick Turner's Renegade: Henry Miller and the Making of "Tropic of Cancer." She didn't shy away from saying things that needed saying. I was impressed--and grateful.
