I am obsessed with gazing at this wall of animated GIFs of the VAMPIRE DIARIES’ Steven R. McQueen. It’s like the distillation of everything I find appealing about teenage dramas where everybody looks like airbrushed candy. I love tumblr because so often, as Kate Zambreno and Kate Durbin have noted, it feels so much like [...]

The idea of composing music for a narrative is not a new one. There’s a lot of history there. Still, the practice isn’t so common anymore.

Occupy Student Debt Campaign

Website Welcome to the Occupy Student Debt Campaign. This campaign is a response to the student debt crisis and the dependency of U.S. higher education on debt-financing from the people it is supposed to serve. There is no justice in a system that openly invites profiteering on the part of lenders. Education is a right [...]

This morning the streets to the New York Stock Exchange were blocked off in every direction with traffic snarled for hours. The protestors tried to enter Wall Street from every direction and were sometimes successfully repelled by the police and sometimes not. Police used batons on protestors numerous times at every way in (I was [...]

I just want to state for the record that I had that pretty banner image up at my personal blog before John put it up at the top of the page here, and so my comment at said blog, that “This is a dead zon(e),” should not be read as any kind of comment about [...]

Spitballing on MY FATHER’S HOUSE by Ben Tanzer
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Ben Tanzer, Main Street Rag, My Father's House on November 14, 2011 | 1 Comment »
I’m beginning to think Ben Tanzer is writing a fictional biography of himself through his novels. If you read them chronologically: Lucky Man, Most Likely You Go Your Way and I Go Mine, You Can Make Him Like You (which I had the good fortune to publish), and most recently the novella, My Father’s House, [...]

Last week, as I was picking up some films from the library of my alma mater, the University of New Hampshire, I stumbled onto their small but feisty exhibition on pop-up books (running through Dec. 15th, should you find yourself there).

“One of the things that I think we’re learning over the last few years actually and particularly over the last few months, is that it’s people—on the street, in the squares—that really matters, in the end. Because that’s the only political force we’ve got. They’ve got the money, they can buy politics, the [...]
Radically unchangeable gestures
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Frank Kermode, Gregory Feeley, Northrop Frye on November 13, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Having read Northrop Frye’s The Anatomy of Criticism earlier this year (see discussions here, here, and here – more to come), I’ve now started reading Frank Kermode’s The Sense of an Ending. I think I incline more to the Kermode than the Frye, partly because I like Kermode’s waspishness but also because his views seem [...]
