Not the best beach reading during this LA heatwave but very grateful for this first scholarly intro to my writing by Michael Kalisch. He even went into the night novels!
& happy 3rd birthday to The Nature Book 🥳

Highly recommend Bi Gan’s Resurrection if it's playing near you. The most beautiful brilliant movie of 2025 imo. Can't believe it's not getting more attention. I've seen it twice and will see it at least twice more. Hi!
The first album I can remember buying, at age 10. No notes

Such a brilliant essay, John. So grateful for your thoughts here and the insight into practical ways to keep literature and difficult books alive. Another reminder of how much I’d like to get back to teaching. Sending warmth and admiration from LA

Randomly did some research yesterday and found that in 2004 France gave 6 billion euro to the arts; USA gave 116 million.
Which is to say it was already bad before it became the National Endowment of Nationalist Slop
Might have incorrectly tagged you here, Eric! @ocreviewofbooks.bsky.social Thank you again! :)
