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
2/28: inscribed
A picturebook I had ordered arrived in today's mail. The book is no longer in print, so I had to buy a used copy. I chose this particular copy because it contains a handwritten note from the author: "To Katherine, a very sweet girl who loves to read books! Your friend, Kathryn Hewitt Nov. '90" And below this note Kathryn Hewitt drew the face of a cat named Goldilocks who appears in the book. It seemed melancholy to me for this book to be without a home, and though I'm not Katherine, I love to read books and want this one to have its home with me.
