through it---bought two objects at Barnes and Noble on Monday, designed to get me through. One, New York review of Books, the other, Best Short Stories of 2014. Read a decent amount of NY Books, a good magazine, still the juxtaposition of an article focusing on the debacle of torturing by our government, and one on a narcisisitic architect and his grand home on Beekman Place, seemed to me a strange jusxtaposition. Human brutality followed by self love. But that is the point, --contrast--our "life" of privilege, contrasted with
the horrors that we experience today. What to do?
Anyway, have not touched the short story book, instead, continued to read The Actress by Amy Sohn---and believe it or not, Amy continues to come through. She may not be the deepest novelist of our (or any) time, but as a good escapist read her novels really hit the spot for me---literate and perceptive enough to make me feel drawn in---even if they are kind of "pulpy". Nevertheless, it is that what I read during the day and early evening, did a lot of sleeping, some possibilities as the second day progresses for going to a play or movie, but night was cold, and curbs were filled with water. Better to have stayed inside.
Today, some lessons, and the next two days at Friends; Saturday should be filled with activities, Sunday more work---see what happens....
