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.

Show Notes

This episode begins with a limerick written and read by Chris Booth, in honor of our pal Steve Kelly:

Just a few, and Steve’s eyes ‘gan to wander;
Then day next he was mute and a-ponder:
When he saw where he woke,
In sad tones, thus he spoke:
“It’s Absinthe makes the heart to grow fonder.”

Tonight, Saturday, and Sunday are the last days in Orlando to see Charlie Bethel’s awesome performance of The Odyssey.

Saturday (March 16th) is also the last day to see this season’s superb Othello at Orlando Shakespeare Theatre.
