Utilitarian Review 12/10/11

On HU

Our Featured Archive post this week is Anja Flower on queerness and Edward Gorey.

I had a post on love, marriage, and saying goodbye to my father in law.

This week was almost entirely devoted to our Godard roundtable, organized by Caroline Small. The index to all posts so far is here. The roundtable will continue through next week.

At the end of the week I snuck in a post about Ella, Enchanted, the book.

At Splice Today I had a post about avant disco performer Arthur Russell.

Also at Splice, a piece about why it’s okay for eight-year-olds to tell Michelle Bachman she’s an idiot.
