you have only just begun to grasp the true power of the imagination. think about a little worm. give the worm a hat. now take the hat away. see how upset the worm is? you did that. you made it happen. the worm does not exist, yet its anger does. its hatred for you is all too real

When we were 14, my friends decided to watch 24 straight hours of movies. We have repeated the tradition every year since. I’m about to head to the 26th Moviefest—the 26th straight year of watching 24 hours of movies with these dorks. Here’s to clinging to ridiculous rituals!

Hey! Is there a place where the dream of the 90s (sustained, ambitious scholarly attention to the fin de siècle American novel) is alive? Yes! In this @Ariz_Quarterly @JHUPress special issue that @raf_walk and I co-edited with intro by us & afterword by Jennifer Fleissner😎
