Chekhov's Mistress
Still Crazy After All these Days
Still trying to find the time to do some writing, so I will have to settle for some observations to cool my blog-posting anxiety:
» In the “spoke too soon” department, it seems that Moby Lives is back on-line after a long hiatus. I was recently critical of the NYTimes for including his weblog in a list of notable blogs when he had not posted in so long – perhaps it’s the Times that got him going again? MobyLives is written by Dennis Loy Johnson, who also runs Melville House Books. I’ve bought a couple of books in their short novels of the master’s series and I am happy to say that MHB titles seem to be popping up in a lot of places these days, so it sounds like things are going well over there.
» Derrida’s death was widely noted around the web. The Film Forum in NYC is running the recent documentary about Derrida, which is interesting if for no other reason than seeing Derrida interact with the filmmakers, which he is ostensibly not supposed to be doing. The Guardian has posted some “thinkers” comments on the philosopher so that we non-thinkers can see that the thinkers don’t understand him either.
» The NY Times muses over the impact of the omnipresent Google’s new service searching the text of books, which is similar to Amazon’s service, but Google doesn’t intend to sell books.
Read widely, think well, and write often.
