Former fearless leader
Somewhat in the spirit of Jo's post, I thought I'd call your attention to Jim Hynes' piece in Salon about reading Anna Karenina for the first time. It's a part of Salon’s summer school series, where authors read cannonical books they think they should have read ages ago and comment on them. Jim liked Anna K, which is a relief. If he hadn't I would have needed to find a way to unlearn everything he taught last semester, as it's one of my favorites. The series itself is engaging, and has made me feel both less guilty (big confession) about having never read The Wapshot Chronicle, and less likely to.In other news, I'll be in Iowa City this week. My alcohol tolerance has diminished in recent months, so I should be really fun, really quickly. If anyone's still around and is interested in coming out to play, call or email.
