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
11/12: finishing
...listening to Mark Twain's Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson. Chris teaches it in one of his classes and has long urged me to read it. Listening to it as I walked took longer than reading it would have, but I was glad to have my experience of the text slowed down and stretched out over more days. Today as we got dinner ready we especially talked about how the "Author's Note" at the end works in light of the whole piece.
