- #238: M. Dery (mark-dery) Wed 23 May 12 10:39 May 23, 2012(dlwilson): "Ethno-ichthyology of the Hong Kong boat people." Wasn't that an indie band in the '80s? No, that was Birdsongs of the Mesozoic. Anyway, thanks. I can't agree that the autobiographical essays are necessarily superior to the purely cultural-critical ones, but I'm pleased to hear something in the book repaid your time […]
- #237: M. Dery (mark-dery) Wed 23 May 12 10:36 May 23, 2012(wickett): And I appreciate your saying so. I haven't the faintest interest in changing Jamie Dimon's mind, or even in upsetting his digestion. If that condemns me to the purgatory of the Cult Author, well, I've made my not-terribly-troubled peace with that. We get the readers we deserve; I'd rather stake my claim to a niche market of ove […]
- #236: David Wilson (dlwilson) Wed 23 May 12 09:51 May 23, 2012Thanks Mark. I left academia after attending an anthropology convention and listening to a lecture on the ethno-ichthyology of the Hong Kong boat people. I was more interested in experiencing new worlds without falling into too many pigeon-holes. The images from B-movies and popular music are more to my taste. Your strongest essays are the ones where you ref […]

Floods will happen and the earth will shatter, causing the death of all humanity and mankind as we know it! Just in case that doesn't happen, let's plan a party in 2013. You know, just in cas […]

Starting at 9:26:53 (.589... sec) AM, the longest extended Pi Day of our lives will come into action. The dat […]
