"Put me on to Edenville." — James Joyce, quoted in today's noon post.
The New Yorker 's Book Bench quotes a college essay on "The Shining"—
"In the Gold Room, the fatally disconnected under-zone of play,
he finds a fin-de-siècle soirée in progress; after a drink of
Jack Daniels, he dances about for a bit—if you will,
a cha-cha on the floor of the Grand Hotel Abyss."
If you will! You probably won’t.
Then again…
In memory of Doug Marlette,
Marlette died in a highway
accident yesterday at about
10 AM CT. He was
"on his way to Oxford
[Mississippi]… to help a
troupe of high school students
put on a play based on
his nationally syndicated
comic strip, Kudzu."
— Chris Joyner,
Clarion-Ledger,
Jackson, Mississippi
