Saying Farewell to a Writer and Friend: David Markson

By -
June 5, 2010 :: elegy in essay form I found out this morning via Jim Behrle's facebook and then his twitter that David Markson has passed away. "David Markson has died." Behrle doesn't blither. Quick search on the web, and I've got nothing, but this makes sense to me. Markson, a giant of postmodernism-- if you're true to the word-- maintained closer friendships than he courted publicity. His life and work are intertwined, and his memory will live on in those he touched as well as in his works of art.

Real Life Rock Top 10: 2019 KAJS-T Edition

I had notes for one last year, but sadly never wound up posting it! So here it goes for 2019.

PRESERVATION ALLIANCE OF LAFAYETTE ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING , MAY 2019 :: I am definitely a bit biased here, but Geoff did a lot of great work this year, and it was really amazing to hear him talk as a professional in front of a group of interested people about what he was doing on the Roy House on campus. I know that he knows a lot, but the nitty gritty details of it aren't often something we discuss, so hearing him talk about it in a setting like this made me so proud. 9.
