All the tweets referring to Cambridge's centuries-long reputation for rigor has me thinking back to Terry Eagleton's memoir of being a student there in the sixties
Cambridge University’s global reputation lives and dies with its academic rigour. Anything that turns its academic standards and practices into a global laughing stock is a dagger to the heart of its reputation. 2/5
I HATE when books have typos like u can't be charging soo much for books then not proofreading them properly

Re classicists as film critics, see this note from Kenneth Dover's ever-quotable memoir: "...Last Year at Marienbad was the worst film I’d ever seen, until Performance, Ghostbusters and L’Annonce faite à Marie."

Looking forward to the next film from my favorite auteurist writer-director, known for meticulous research and painstakingly crafted period detail--I'm speaking of course about @missannabiller
@HeerJeet and according to his contemporaries, Pope could barely read Greek and relied primarily on Chapman
@DAMendelsohnNYC You might as well mention Jake Heggie's bizarrely misconceived Moby Dick opera, which drains almost all the metaphysics and reduces the story to an interpersonal conflict between captain and crew.

Another word on After Claude: I cannot believe this novel is not better known than it is. It should rightly have a cult at least as large as that for A Confederacy of Dunces
First of two Hockney sightings I had in downtown LA. Second was outside of the Broad Museum--he, in his wheelchair, was about to get into a car as some guy came up and hassled him for a photo and autograph
went to a Marilynne Robinson talk tonight and may have sat one row in front of David Hockney.
Hey guys, short of the snippets we played, here are the sets for LA.😊
@AntigoneJournal @GeorgyKantor Derrida did receive the degree, after all that. Here is James Diggle's Latin oration for the occasion, and the English text that was distributed in print
Once at a late-night diner the next booth over was two teenage skaters. I overheard as one of them spent an hour breathlessly recounting to his friend the plot of this novel
We should stop pretending page length is an indicator of how difficult it is to get through a book. Monte Cristo is like 900 pages but is basically litslop so you get through it easily. A soap opera telenovella isn't complex just because it has 500 episoded either
