Hi Everyone,
It's been three years since I've checked this email and five since I wrote to the listserve. I was just talking to a friend, outside, 8 feet away, on a fold-out chair I brought with me, and she brought up ZMM. We chatted a little while about it, and am going to give her one of the many copies I still have squirreled away. I haven't read it since I taught it in 2014, but I still think it is one of the most remarkably structured books. I've been teaching "close reading" for over 10 years now, and its responsiveness is a sign of its enduring quality of thought and feeling.
But that's just, maybe, the required nostalgic overture. The real nostalgia I wanted to toss into this still pool was a Hello to any of my old friends and interlocutors who still receive these emails. I still feel that my participation many years ago was integral to my intellectual and stylistic growth.
I hope everyone is well.
Best,
Matt
