every day, one good thing

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

9/2: ekphrasis

I've been listening to The Last Painting of Sara de Vos by Dominic Smith and enjoying its ekphrastic passages about (fictional) paintings. Today I realized that, even when Smith is not being obviously ekphrastic, much of his narrative and descriptive technique in this novel yields the feel of ekphrasis.
