Art Matters Read by Zoe

Zoë liked this work of scholarship. I basically had to borrow the book from her.

In this week’s episode, I talk with Vanessa Blakeslee about Robert Paul Lamb’s Art Matters: Hemingway, Craft, and the Creation of the Modern Short Story. Five years in, TDO finally devotes a show to Hemingway, and Bob’s discussion of Hemingway’s craft is profoundly illuminating to how effectively extraordinary Hemingway’s aesthetics were. I somehow manage not to tell the story how in my Purdue years, my roommates and I dubbed the more rustic of our two bathrooms as The Ernest Hemingway Memorial toilet, with a lot of great photos of Hem in it.

The Lists #14 by Scott Hoffman

Top 10 Things Not to Say to  Your Theology School Comps Board

  1. What’s it to ya?!
  1. Reading list? What reading list?
  1. Did you all find the envelopes I slipped under your doors?
  1. And now a reading from the Book of Mormon.
  1. Hey, did you hear the one about the monk, the nun, the Lutheran minister and the theology professor?
  1. You call THAT a question? Geez! How’d they make YOU a professor?
  1. I don’t know—I, I didn’t write this….
  1. The responsorial psalm can be found on page…
  1. I refuse to answer on the grounds that it might incriminate me.
  1. Anybody else as drunk as I am?
