'against the day' comes out in paperback at the end of the month.

i've been reading 'faust' in the david luke / oxford classics translation on and off, just got on to part two. surprisingly naughty-but-not-coded.

other than that, nothing too committal lately. lots of books on ethics, trying to devise an ethics syllabus for use in the future (i have never taught ethics and also know nothing about it). books on cavell and wittgenstein. j.l. austin. emerson. i believe there's a history of welfare in america waiting for me at the library. i wish i could read only for fun, at present.
