The Death of the Author by Gilbert Adair - bibliographing

http://www.bibliographing.com/2015/01/06/the-death-of-the-author-by-gilbert-adair

How the light gets in. The Death of the Author. I discovered Gilbert Adair because he wrote a series of parody-mysteries of famous Agatha Christie works, for example,. The Act of Roger Murgatroyd. Which, I should say, is hilarious and clever and a toy made to the exact specifications of a locked-room mystery lover with a sense of humor. But I didn’t realize. The Death of the Author. Pages she has just read. The Death of the Author. Mysteries, just like my beloved Agatha Christies and Dorothy Sayers are m...

8 May 2013, 4:10pm. Hot Smoked Arctic Char & Lobster. Am I becoming addicted to new gadgets? It’s possible…. I love the flavour of smoke on almost anything: meat, fish, seafood, chips, condiments, cheese, fruit…uh, spices. I would have to work hard to come up with something smoked that I don’t immediately enjoy. Smoke can elevate virtually any ingredient or dish to something sublime maybe it’s the genetic memory of how our cave ancestors learned to cook over open wood-fire. Ignoring caution and common-se...

Woolf in Winter: Mrs. Dalloway - bibliographing

http://www.bibliographing.com/2010/01/15/woolf-in-winter-mrs-dalloway

Laquo; The year ahead…ugh. Before I read Virginia Woolf, I knew a fair bit about her and her work, but her chief characteristic in my mind was the “stream-of-consciousness” I’d read about, and she felt very wrapped up in the idea of the internal life. It turns out that was a pretty good idea, but not in the way I expected. Where I thought Woolf’s narration would focus on the interior, instead her characters’ thoughts are all externalized. Clarissa Dalloway does not go around London. Did it matter then, s...

Hotchpot Cafe: This Moment

http://hotchpotcafe.blogspot.com/2013/09/this-moment.html

Where books are always on the menu, but aren't the only fare . . . Wednesday, September 11, 2013. Photo: www.kcoy.com. Today, September 11th, is my generation's Where Were You moment. Other generations have Pearl Harbor, or JFK's assassination, or maybe Bobby Thomson's home run. We have this. I'm proud to say that although we were a long way from New York and Washington, and didn't have any apparent disaster plan, at the solo law firm where I worked, the boss got it exactly right. For our selfish goals.

Hotchpot Cafe: Cloud Shark

http://hotchpotcafe.blogspot.com/2013/09/cloud-shark.html

Where books are always on the menu, but aren't the only fare . . . Friday, September 13, 2013. Even rush hour has its moments. These clouds were extremely three-dimensional in a way that only "Florida's mountains" can be on a late summer afternoon, when a thunderstorm is building. I only noticed the lurking shape to the left a bit later. Labels: Only In Florida. September 13, 2013 at 8:29 AM. Thats an amazing shark. I love external validation.

______, She _____ - THE CATASTROPHIZER

http://www.catastrophizer.com/the-catastrophizer/______-she-_____

The Experts Weigh In. There is going to be a. Murder, She Wrote. If I had my own internet, there would certainly have been talk about Affleck-Batman, but that talk would now, obviously, be eclipsed by talk about Spencer-Fletcher. Most people are focusing on the fact that this reboot demonstrates that NBC is the network version of the saddest, most desperate, most unimaginative person who has ever existed. Castle: With Octavia Spencer Instead of Nathan Fillion. It has its own category in this blog),.

Bookphilia.com: September 2011

http://www.bookphilia.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Friday, 16 September 2011. Why I must never, ever, ever read (auto)biography again. Just a (hopefully) quick post on what I've been reading, and what I ought not to be reading so that I can read other things I want to read. Anthony Trollope and I are going to have to have a duel, that's all. I had been enjoying my Victorian Literature project so much that I decided to read Anthony Trollope's An Autobiography. In between fat Victorian novels, instead of something more contemporary. Trollope, damn your eye...
