I’ve taught Our Mutual Friend as well as Great Expectations and also Dombey and Son, and have been on Master’s degree thesis committees for A Christmas Carol as well as the mediocre-wretched-except-for its opening and closing paragraphs A Tale of Two Cities, ha ha!

Great to revisit Bleak House via audiobook, including Teresa Gallagher’s superb voicing of Esther Summerson’s narration, also strong narration by Sean Barrett. Our Mutual Friend may (still?) be my favorite Dickens but see for instance Colin Dexter’s tribute:

miCRo: "The Visible Woman" by Alexandra Teague

Clear. Nuclear. Like the Visible Woman in her plexiglass-clear skin once lied to me I wouldn’t grow to be. One button for her heart to light up red. One for the nervy, branching rivers in her head.
