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
5/16: finishing
...reading a novel while still lying in bed in the morning. Turns out the novel--Apocalypse Baby by Virginie Despentes, translated by Sian Reynolds--took quite a turn in the final portion, making it an odd way to start the day. But it got and kept me thinking for hours. It's the second novel by Despentes that I've read this week, and I'm glad to have finally given her work a try after having put it on my possible to-read list a couple of years ago.
