Same. I've seen some complaints about episodes like "The Gap" being slow, but for me, those have been among the more gripping.

Excellent micro, Tracie. I'd missed it when it first ran.

LOL. Well, you win, then. I've had a five-year and a six-year delay before, but not yet a full decade.

I mentioned Stewart above-thread. He was founding co-editor of the Ben Jonson Journal. I wasn't sure if it was still publishing, but I see that it is.

Oh, cool. Bookmarked for when I can access it from my laptop. Thanks!

Had the pleasure of a Jonson seminar in grad school, taught by Stanley Stewart. Presented a paper on Jonson later, but my primary concentration was rhet-comp, with Renaissance secondary, so I haven't done much else with his work outside of teaching it. What was your diss?

Oh, I hadn't thought of that. That's a highly plausible hypothesis.

(Nice, btw, to see someone else who knows more about Jonson than his poem about Shakespeare.)

I know, right?

Episode 7, "The Gap"

I did not have *that* on my episode Bingo card. Wife doesn't watch the show but she saw my expression and immediately wondered if I was okay.

The last step in the process that we were shouting was, "Now get up and brush yourself off." Which is particularly funny given the state of Hamilton at the end of her dream.

Aw, thanks Stan!

Congrats on the big 1-3-1!

I hear you. I published a story about AI cloning back in 2017, in Nature, and it now feels like it's chasing the news instead of ahead of it, until you look at the date. www.nature.com/articles/544...

Fantastic. Hell of a voice.

Just received it in the mail this week, and it's next on my to-read list.

Just got mine :-)

It really is a fantastic image. My journey is similar to Dawn's: I bought that collection when it came out based partly on the cover and, though I'd seen your name and heard good things frequently before then, only read (and loved) your stories at that point. Covers can sometimes tip a decision.

I believe it does. I have it at home, and I'd also been impressed enough with the cover to look up the origins of that image. It's been awhile though, and I've forgotten.
