Just to reminisce:
Ellen and I were graduate students in New York in the '70s. Irving Howe was at that time a professor in the CUNY Graduate School (which had the best bar on 42nd St.) despite (perhaps because of) his not having a PhD.
It's "Fadiman," I think.
It is, and I knew that, and I still misspelled it.
Hey, nice article. The McLemee. Thanks.
5: pain perdu? I mean, it's almost certainly cross-posted to your blog, homeslice.
This is the second time in two days I've seen a reference to Marcuse's One-Dimensional Man. Maybe I should read that.
Don't do it, parsimon! It's a how-to book!
Would anyone here subscribe to a random magazine service? I love reading magazines that cater to subcultures far from my own, and it occurs to me that I'm probably not alone. I'd love to subscribe to a service that sent me a different semi-specialist magazine each week. One week it's an anarcho-communist poetry zine, the next it's Guns & Ammo, then RC Modeler, a magazine for collectors of dolls, an Objectivist rag, Outside, a quilting zine, and so on. I buy the occasional magazine at random, but it'd be nice to get delivery. The absolute best part is reading the little ads at the back, the ones put there by people running businesses on the side, driven 90% by passion and only 10% by money.
