La parola da casa, Serena Piccoli

now that I am in chicago, my early love of baseball has reemerged. that would have surprised me just a few years ago when i was wrapped up in the theoretical issues of graduate school. i'm not suggesting that i am not interested in theory anymore (i'm reading works by zizek and wittgenstein currently), but somehow i read to soak them in differently. i'm also returning to homer and shakespeare with a reworked sensibility that can include theory and simple enjoyment. somehow i feel like i am developing into a better critic now that i have finished my doctorate. whatever has loosened is also allowing me to return to the game (this time as a spectator).
