I’m afraid that, like Terry, I’m going to be away from computers on Thursday. My parents are in town for a short visit, I’m taking the day off from work, and we’ll be crisscrossing the city all day. Back Friday with answers to the remaining two of Terry’s five questions, and more. And this weekend I’ll answer my e-mail!
Here’s some recommended reading for the interim:
Maud’s musings on writers and childhood, complete with links to her own off-blog writing.
Peter Campbell in the LRB on late Vuillard.
Jim Treacher hails the “puppet episode” of Angel, comparing it to the tremendous Buffy musical and making me wish I’d never stopped watching the show. Perhaps one of my Angel-watching correspondents will be moved to file a report.
Joan Acocella–surprise!–likes Robert Altman’s ballet film The Company. Robert Gottlieb, another dance critic assigned to review the film, pretty much hated it.
That’s all from thawing Chicago for now.
