He winds up where we are now, living within a hyper-capitalist “neo-proprietarian” global economy. The accumulation and concentration of wealth among the elite is thanks to trade agreements that made money highly mobile while workers remain stuck. https://t.co/KKPvSl8khp

"The nurse brought a mug of tea and custard creams for his father. He ate them cheerlessly and quick, as though it were a penance, and the tea was gone in a few big farmer slurps. He was a country boy with his wires twisted all wrong. He should have never been let near a city."— Frank Murphy (@FrankMurphy49) February 29, 2020

Jean Toomer was born on this day, 1894. He wrote one of the most extraordinary poetic empathetic & haunting books I’ve ever read. It has qualities of spirituals, southern gothic, multi-angled modernism & Harlem Renaissance. It speaks of it’s time & ours https://t.co/dRQz88IG8U pic.twitter.com/d0w3enpq0z

Back in 2011 I wrote a piece reflecting on the seasons. The recording featured close to 40 great musicians, notably the great violinist Mark Fewer. In welcoming Spring I'll post a link to the piece here. Spring is the first season. Enjoy. https://t.co/e8m3xzRo5w

“My Life” by Anton Chekhov (1896). This is Chekhov’s longest short story and one of the very few he wrote in the first-person singular. It’s the autobiography of a young man in provincial Russia struggling to live up to his lofty ideals and being brought down by life’s random contingencies. I actually adapted “My Life” for a play and know it intimately. If you could only read a single Chekhov story then this is the one: all his gifts and genius – the wry, dark comedy of his voice, his unique angle on the human condition, his refusal to judge – are contained in it.
