I'm not writing much here lately, as is obvious, because I'm deep in the dizzying bookpile that is my reward this year, studying for my qualifying exams in May. There's nothing like reading as much as I can of literary product from the last two centuries (American, mostly) to induce a sort of aphasia, or convince that there's very little that can't be said better with the backspace key. I'm sure I'll figure out some enabling delusion soon, and then I'll be back. But probably very little until summer.
