Yesterday's post The Eightfold Cube in Oslo suggests a review of
posts that mention The Lost Crucible.
(The crucible in question is from a book by Katherine Neville,
The Eight . Any connection with Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible"
is purely coincidental.)
A detail from the previous post —
"Last thing I remember,
I was running for the door . . . ."
— Eagles, "Hotel California"
A KUNSTforum.as article online today (translation by Google) —
Update of Sept. 7, 2016: The corrections have been made,
except for the misspelling "Cullinan," which was caused by
Google translation, not by KUNSTforum.
"The quotes create the illusion
that the dead are still speaking
to the reader. Faust writes about
the efforts of spiritualists to believe
in an afterlife for their slain kin, but
she’s the one summoning spirits."

This afternoon's online New York Times on the late
Gene Wilder, who reportedly died Sunday night —
"Mr. Wilder’s rule for comedy was simple:
Don’t try to make it funny; try to make it real.
'I’m an actor, not a clown,' he said more than once."
— Daniel Lewis

1. Tom Wolfe has a new book on Chomsky, "The Kingdom of Speech."
2. This suggests a review of a post of Aug. 11, 2014, Syntactic/Symplectic.
To paraphrase Wittgenstein, sentence 1 above is about "correlating in real life"
(cf. Crooked House and Wolfe's From Bauhaus to Our House ), and may be
compared to sentence 2 above, which links to a sort of "correlating in
mathematics" that is a particular example of the more general sort of
mathematical correlating mentioned by Wittgenstein in 1939.
The previous post dealt with a talk by Cora Diamond
on April 3, 2015, at 32 Vassar St., Cambridge, Mass.
The MIT building at that address suggests a review
of the phrase "Crooked House" in this journal.
A check of Cora Diamond, editor of the 1976 Wittgenstein
book shown in the previous post, yields …
The date of the above talk was April 3, 2015.
