TASP 2003 at UT Austin: The Mystery of Creativity



reasonably remarkable



Wednesday, February 09, 2005
Dear Harold Bloom was supposed to lecture on Lear yesterday (Monday; whatever) and he backed out in the last minute due to health reasons. I testify that I saw him the Thursday before and he looked well and alive.

Alex's and my Lit professor (we're in the same Literature section!) said he'd have liked to take Shakespeare out of the Western Canon course curriculum because that was the one author he knew we've all read before and will read again. Irony - especially as it makes a lot of sense.

I demand pictures of Alex Y with muttonchops.


To Eunice, Adam, and now Bryan as well: Xin nian kuai le!
