A short course on shadow anatomy 1 Citation So, looking at our two recent posts concerning shadows (a Robert Louis Stevenson poem and an excerpt from Bolano) it?s clear that they?re offering competing ideas of the anatomy of shadows: if you slice a shadow open, what implications will you find inside it? The Stevenson poem suggests that the shadow is a hole there to catch the rejected aspects of its owner; this is classical shadow anatomy. The shadow?s sporadic enormity (when it ?shoots up taller like an Indian-rubber ball?) lets th, technorati.com

A series of thoughts provoked by Zoe Strauss?s photographs 1 Citation This is a bit of a tangent from our usual mission, but last week I saw Zoe Strauss?s show America: We Love Having You Here at the Silverstein gallery on 24th Street in Chelsea. (Follow the link above to see some photos on her website.) The photos are of desolate, wrenching Americana; an old subject, which made it surprising that they were so fresh and startling. They were pictures, I thought, of loss. The first image you see, walking in, shows a half-expired inflatable Titanic, canting at an a, technorati.com

On self-consciousness: in defense of Roberto Bolaño, and others 1 Citation ?It came as something of an epiphany the first time I realized that Mexicans, as one example among many, do not eat Mexican food ? they are, that is, simply eating food ? and I think it is equally the case that Latin Americans don?t make broad, sweeping, and at times almost caricaturish generalizations about Latin America, at least not unless they are already, like Bolaño?s eager Anglo readers certainly are, outsiders imagining an inside to which their access is structurally impossible because t, technorati.com

I?d forgotten this: an excerpt from The Odyssey 1 Citation ?When the sun stands striding at high noon, then up from the waves he comes? the Old Man of the Sea who never lies? under a West Wind?s gust that shrouds him round in shuddering dark swells, and once he?s out on land he heads for his bed of rest in deep hollow caves and around him droves of seals?sleek pups bred by his lovely ocean lady?bed down too in a huddle, flopping up from the gray surf, giving off the sour reek of the salty ocean depths? Now I will tell you all the wizard?s tric, technorati.com

A bit more on character: what are we looking for? 1 Citation Persistent housewives will know I?ve done some theorizing in these pages about the relationship between plot and character. More specifically, I?ve advanced the view that there is not really plot-as-such, but only plot as the phases of the characters, their disclosure in action and event. Oh, I still believe this. But the trouble is that I believe the reverse simply can?t be true: character cannot be only the source of the plot. (Character can be no more than that, of course, even in good book, technorati.com

1 Citation Everyone in the subway car shaves his or her head completely. An individual ziplock bag for collecting the hair is provided to each passenger. An attendant then passes through the car and collects all the bags. As long as each person?s hair is kept separate there is no need for names or numbers. Then, on a large canvas, the attendant sets the hairs tuft by tuft with tweezers, perhaps using melted wax as an adhesive. The attendant is careful to keep each head of hair distinct: the borders may t, technorati.com

How to swath tall grass with a lawn mower 1 Citation The mower is an old, but still sound, Snapper. I chose it years ago because it was a great vacuum and could bag everything on the lawn. At this location, I don?t enjoy lawn maintenance and all I want to do is spread the too-long cuttings. The chute is made from a recycled ice-cream bucket. Material flies out of the chute at high speed. If you try this, please be careful that the ejecta does not hit anybody or anything vulnerable. (The camera, which is close to stream of material exiting the ch, technorati.com
