A lot of things are happening! One thing that’s happening is that The Point is throwing a party to celebrate the release of issue 29. It’ll be in New York on the 21st, from 7:30 to who-knows when, and I will be there. I hope you can make it!

Hurray for you! Hurray for getting out of academic philosophy and its endless trolleying! And hurray for you coming to DC - if I walk by you and recognize you, I won't make a fuss, but might murmur "Stanley Cavell sure had some great ideas and an impenetrable style!" and run away to the nearest Metro stop. Seriously, though, good move.
You know, I never meant to make the man into an epithet - "impenetrable Cavell,' like- "grey-Eyed Athena." It's interesting - when I've returned to his essays ("Must We Mean What We Say" is the one I own) - I do read them aloud, and I look for his cadences. Thanks for letting me know what's on the 'Tubes.

Congratulations Becca! Looking forward to reading you in the WaPo.
congrats on the gig.
Congrats on the book critic gig.
Also, liking in solidarity in finding Stoner to be f*cking annoying, too.
