I particularly enjoyed “The Sawing Boys” and “El Castillo de la Perseverancia.” Waldrop’s unique voice has me working through all of his (often overlapping) story collections, and makes me wonder if I should start going to SF cons to hear the current generation’s readings of their own works.
Lovely mix of music and art history, theory, biography, and music business insight.
gravely started reading The Inferno
Delightful, ridiculous companion to Pnin,. I’m confident I missed a lot (I only occasionally referred back to the lines of the poem referenced in the commentary) and still enjoyed it.
Shirley Jackson with theater kids. Mostly stuck the landing but idk.
