Christmas Despair
I thought a couple years ago when somehow the movie Andre Rublev and repeated listenings of Arvo Part's Magnificat almost took me to an ethereal place during the Holidays; I thought I was going to evaporate into the Spirit World.
A good viewing of The Pink Panther and some fun with Steve Martin's press conference early in the flick and some good laughs with my nephew Andrew, who fences with Pace, brought me back to my charisma of the 80's there for a while; a little episodic bon vivant.
Now the funk is on me again and this Village Voice Reading List may not help. I share the link below from a post to my friend and Carson Newman Grad Scott Erwin, now in Knoxville.
That post tells the story.
Have some friends with Habitat who appreciate Padgett Powell. Hopes this brightens their Holidays as they have extended family who will take the humor of Curs to the Next Generation.
The Context is the point. And class, if you can find a better exegesis in American Fiction than Padgett Powell, please let me know.
In the Meantime, Merry Christmas to you.

And the Wells Tower collection by reputation is something.No excuses for not reading Powell. I've had email exchanges with him. Finest anecdote on class ever come my way in Woman Named Drown, toward the end of the book.One to remember me by; and the discussion on Curs is classic.
