A short break

By April 30, 2009January 12th, 20263 Comments

I won’t be blog­ging over the week­end; I’ve been very kindly invited by the folks at the University of Arizona’s lit­er­ary journ­al, Sonora Review, to par­ti­cip­ate in a day of read­ings com­mem­or­at­ing David Foster Wallace. (I con­trib­uted a remem­brance of Wallace to the journ­al’s upcom­ing double issue, devoted to Wallace’s memory.) I’ll prob­ably write at least a little about the event after I get back, early next week. Watch some good movies while I’m gone. Some images from a new DVD of a pic­ture I’m extremely excited to see in this format will be pop­ping up here over the time I’m away, to keep you at least a little entertained.

    Have a good trip. Sounds like a fas­cin­at­ing event.
    I shall be watch­ing many films this week­end. Whether they’re any good or not is up to fate, though I’ll con­tin­ue to make my puzzled, oddly fas­cin­ated way through Bresson, with THE DEVIL, PROBABLY.

    Given the jaunti­ness of your prose, I would have found and enjoyed this site any­way. But the DFW pres­ence cements the link. Your long com­ment­ary on edit­ing his work was a keep­er and I’m eager to read more.

    I live in Phoenix and wish I could have got­ten down to be a part of this. It’s bit­terly iron­ic that U of A is doing this con­sid­er­ing the English depart­ment basic­ally took a shit on DFW up until his first book was pub­lished. I guess late to the party is bet­ter than not both­er­ing to show up at all.
    I hope it went well.
