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
7/17: picturebook without pictures
In my class we've studied some picturebooks which don't use words, and that led me to think about what a picturebook which didn't use pictures would be like. Could it be done in a way so that it still seemed to "count" as a "picturebook"? The question has been sitting in the back of my mind for a few weeks now, mostly as a kind of artistic/theoretical musing. Today I found out that Hans Christian Andersen actually wrote a story called "A Picturebook without Pictures." Go figure! Of course I read it.
