Sunday, November 24, 2013. Alain de Botton on being/not being a critic. Wrestling with the dissertation these days. This quote, from Joshua Rothman's New Yorker profile. Of Alain de Botton's "art as therapy" project, is helping energize me by reminding me of why I'm doing all this work. Just replace "art" with "literature" in my case. 8220;What are you supposed to do if you love art? 8221; he asked. “Do you become a scholar of art? Do you become an art critic? Do you write about art? Blue Bell Ice Cream.

The Scholarly Texan: September 2013
http://scholarlytexan.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 16, 2013. I just want to highlight some super-cool scholarly and texan and scholarly-texan-type things going on around the web:. First, if you're reading James Joyce or planning a trip to Dublin, you have to visit Jasmine Mulliken's meticulously-researched Mapping Dubliners Project. Which features online maps of every place referenced in Dubliners. And mapped routes of all of the collection's characters. Jasmine also writes a blog. Second, the Harry Ransom Center has a blog. Happy birth...

The Scholarly Texan: From the Gulf
http://scholarlytexan.blogspot.com/2013/07/from-gulf.html
Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Galveston Island, 1972. All photos by Blair Pittman via The Atlantic. I love this series of photos from Texas in the 1970s. That's up right now at The Atlantic's website. Part of it is that we just got back from a weekend getaway to Port Aransas, on the Gulf, which still looks amazingly like these 40-year-old shots of Galveston. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Scholarly Texan: A Quick Post on Remembering
http://scholarlytexan.blogspot.com/2015/03/a-quick-post-on-remembering_17.html
Tuesday, March 17, 2015. A Quick Post on Remembering. Bill Lindsey has a post up on his blog. Every time my stepdad asks me if I want to keep something, and I tell him no, I feel like I’m willfully dropping a petal of mom’s memory. I tell myself I’ve got enough to remember her already: albums and albums of photos, her doctoral diploma, her copy of the Book of Common Prayer. So, as important as that passed-down copy of the BCP. The physical thing,. Here are a few posts where she’s showed up, from bo...
