| Hearsay: |
I am headed to Toronto tomorrow (5:20am flight with a four-year-old who needs 12 hours sleep a night but refuses to get more than 10… I pity you if you’re on our flight) for a short visit with relatives, so I’ll try to update during that time, but it might be a bit sparse. Perhaps more unimaginable to me is that I might be away from my Facebook crack for more than a few hours at a time. (Actually, after a month of shoddy productivity, I’ve got that particular monkey back in its cage, but I still check more than a few times each day.)

Re: Stalin the poet…
Steven Heighton’s first book, Stalin’s Carnival (Quarry Press, 1989), contains some of Heighton’s translations of Stalin’s early poetry. The book is incredible, and though out-of-print, can be found floating around good second hand stores and abebooks. Definitely worth a read.

I think I was recently on a 9 1/2 hour flight with that four-year-old. That’s why they supply headphones. I now have permanent hearing loss from cranking up the volume. Though I must say the screaming did add an extra dimension to an otherwise flat movie.
