Is it winter break yet? We're nearing the end of week #3 of the semester, and everyone already resembles The Walking Dead. I blame it oe the double-wammy of two natural mini-disasters occurring in the space of one week. Earthquake + Irene = no beginning-of-the-schoolyear pep-in-the-step. In other words, week #3 looks a lot like the exhaustion of week #5 or #6.
I'm doubly worn-out, having just returned from a visit to York College of Pennsylvania, where I did a reading and met with a senior seminar to talk about literature post-9/11. I was jealous of the course's reading list: all sorts of disturbing/subversive texts that engage with the terrorist attacks of 2001 and that consider "issue of representation" for the 21st century. I want to reread Extremely Fast and Incredibly Close, Falling Man, and Windows on the World. Is it winter break yet?
