It’s starting to look like a book....

I’ve been working on editing these galleys, along with my teaching, and a thousand other things, so this is a briefer edition than usual.

Fifty years ago Auden wrote a limerick:

The Marquis de Sade and Genet
Are most highly thought of to-day;
But torture and treachery
Are not my sort of lechery,
So I’ve given my copies away.

STATUS BOARD

• Work: Exams have come in! I must grade them! This is an outrage!
• Music: I have said it often (maybe even in this newsletter): If some alien wanted to know what rock and roll is, and I could communicate its nature to them with only one song, this would be the song.
• Viewing: A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon.
• Food and Drink: Whatever comes to hand. Such are the exigencies of the moment.
