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
8/2: while on the road
Chris has been in Portugal for 5 weeks, and this evening I drove to Little Rock to pick him up at the airport. On the way down I listened to this week's episode of This American Life on the radio: a humane story of a teenager who showed up on the doorstep of fantasy author Piers Anthony, and the unlikely fictional correspondence between Kafka's Gregor Samsa and Dr. Seuss. I was so glad that I caught both segments. (More information available here.)
I didn't get to hear all of the Gregor/Seuss piece, but the Piers Anthony story was very good.
ReplyDeleteLove that I got an Orphaned Postcard from you today :) Thank you!
How great to see you here, PostMuse! I'm glad the card arrived, and I'm glad you heard the Piers Anthony story. It was a special one.
