Let’s talk about the Ship of Theseus

Poor guys – they just have to keep recruiting more and more of them as they get killed on away missions. Well, in Mickey’s world, they’ve solved … [Read more]

However, I am not sure how to interpret Benny’s True Colors within my experiences of these other books. I … [Read more]

Sorry for your Trouble by Richard Ford

May 4, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

I was in a grad class in 2005-2006 in the two semesters during and then after Hurricane Katrina. And this was a little bit after the south Asian tsunami that killed 200,000+ people. The professor talked about both events as the kinds of things that would become touchstones in literature, both in … [Read more]

Inventing a Nation

Inventing a Nation by Gore Vidal

May 4, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

I was 20 on 9/11/01, and in the previous year, my first year of college, I watched the returns of the 2000 presidential election and the extended recounts and the installation of GW Bush as the president by a partisan Supreme Court (phew, thank god we don't have partisan supreme courts any more!). … [Read more]

    I really enjoyed this one. I was particularly amused at Lady Catherine deBoutgh’s disgust at her assassin’s incompetence.
