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
9/5: unexpected pocket
...of time and pleasure. Though my classes have started, the work-load this week is light, so I spent the morning reading Lady Rose and Mrs. Memmary by Ruby Ferguson. It's one of Persephone's titles, which is how I found it, and as always I'm so grateful for their publishing choices. Though I love their selection of books, I'm not always a fan of the prefaces they commission for their editions--but I thought Candia McWilliam did a lovely job with the preface for this one. I read it after I finished the book, and it felt apt and insightful.
