No one has blogged in a day. Not even Anne. What was Anne doing? This is not the venue for Anne to tell me what she was doing. I hope Anne is not dead. (It would be really terrible if Anne were dead, particularly since I'm making these remarks which would be perceived as insensitive about it.)

The Heartbreaking Work "seminar" was spectacular. Everyone missed out. We figured out everything everyone ever wanted or ought to know about the nineties, post-modern literature and the death of seriousness (or irony), the possibility of art in the modern day, where the culture is going, etc. So, um, yeah. Where is everyone, anyway?
