RIP Carla Freccero. You were feisty & fabulous. Brilliant & bold. You thought my usage of the word 'oeuvre' was annoying (OK, ça va, I give you that one!), but read my and other folks' work with an eye for detail & care and embodied a type of intellectual generosity that is rarely found in academia.
