excellent news: the NYRB has reissued Coover’s baseball novel which means (LARB controversy aside) I can engage in some shameless self-promotion and recirculate this (written before coming to Berkeley, even, god, that’s so long ago) lareviewofbooks.org/article/dungeo…

this thread is at once an excellent overview of what miscellany wants to be, a sharp reading of Lee’s work, and a significant piece of personal writing in its own right
Niles H. Frasier@MTisempty

Today, @Miscjournal is publishing @TheGloryFires poem "Biscuit," a little taste of the three (!!!) Lee poems in the print issue. I am unbelievably excited, and super proud to put these out there. To explain why I'm so jubilant, some background (1/many) miscellanyjournal.com/biscuit

hearing someone traverse an AI-assistant phone tree in order to make an appointment is like watching absurdist theater

I think about this all the time seems to me like a necessary development of first professionalization and then sports as investment objects the narrative and ludic pleasure eroded by “external” demands of maximization
Alan Cole@AlanMCole

Several sports have a problem that goes like: "our players are getting really really good, and in certain elements of the game even a strong adversary can't impede them, so the outcome converges to perfection, creating unintended game balance problems."
