"she praises the harpoons, she misses everything, even the foam"
Diva Moby Dick dwells on her exploits as a huntress, she sees everywhere the shadow of Ahab's hat, representative of flattering and chivalrous adversity, from another time, she praises the harpoons, she misses everything, even the foam #Senges23 #Ahab #Sequels #pierresenges

In 1838, Herman Melville is nineteen years old, …perhaps he’s already crumpling up drafts of poems at the bottom of his pocket: while waiting for the whales and the books (whale-books, book-whales), (429)

Thanks! Finding this enclave of wonderful bookish people is giving me Fahrenheit 451 vibes; is anyone going to assign me a book to memorize?

In almost 4 years after publication, my book has become lived in; I could recite pieces by heart. I rarely read the longer ones, and in Palo Alto I plan on reading the title story. Here's hoping that a nightmare shared does a different thing than a nightmare experienced on one's own.

62 years ago today, the most (in)famous symbol of the Cold War was built - the Berlin Wall. "Keiner kommt durch" is an insider's view of the border & its cruelty. https://bit.ly/3DRRxZ4

This week on ArabLit.org we're marking Women in Translation month by looking at a genre usually associated with male writers: prison writing. (Not all of these are translated; some are.)

Having to drive with your son back to university is a good excuse to close the bookstore for a few days right? And some added hiking?
