Bifurcated Life

Flying to the southwestern US tomorrow for a friend’s wedding. On the way back, in order to arrive home in time to attend my teaching seminar, I’m flying my first red eye special: 11pm-6am. So there will be no posts, most likely for the next few hectic days. I’ll be taking the collected works of Henry James — which I just delightedly downloaded for my Kindle entire, for two dollars, which means my kindle just paid for itself several times over, because I had the collected works of H.J. in my wishlist in dead-tree form and it amounted to several hundred dollars worth of books — and Alasdair MacIntyre’s After Virtue, which I’m prepping for the comps exam. When I get back, you may expect the next few installments of my Kierkegaard series: the new dawn affair, the review of Anderson’s novel, and the dissertation on the concept of irony. Also, I have a picture of a cup to show you, and some thoughts on running, Joan Didion, and On Diaspora.
