Serious Leary
The director of the 2007 film “The Number 23” reportedly died today.
In his memory — An image that appeared in the Leary link of last night’s
post on “a combination of Kafka and Joyce, with a touch of Orwell” —
The Long Hello…
"In July, 1960, having just received a doctorate from Harvard
and a research and training fellowship from the National Institute
of Mental Health, I drove, together with my wife, Sandylee,
from Cambridge, Massachusetts to Cuernavaca, Mexico."
— Michael Maccoby, June 26, 2014,
"Building on Erich Fromm's Scientific Contributions"
This is the Michael Maccoby of . . .
First published, with a less lurid cover, in 1958 by Arlington Books
of Cambridge, Mass.
What appears to be that 1958 edition, with the Maccoby introduction,
is available as a PDF —

Equals
“A love story of epic, epic, epic proportion” — Kristen Stewart on “Equals”
“Some things are more equal than others.” — Adapted from Orwell
