How many of us are feeling the hot breath of #death in the air? You aren't wrong. But keep sight of the possible #rebirth, the many ways that we can be part of a great #transformation.
"Meaningful change feels like a life and death experience. The ego fears that any change will cause annihilation, for in growing the soul, the ego must die a little. Stepping into a bigger phase in life is like a small death that opens us to transformation."  - Michael Meade

“There is a kind of sadness that comes from knowing too much, from seeing the world as it truly is. It is the sadness of understanding that life is not a grand adventure, but a series of small, insignificant moments, that love is not a fairy tale, but a fragile, fleeting emotion, that happiness is not a permanent state, but a rare, fleeting glimpse of something we can never hold onto. And in that understanding, there is a profound loneliness, a sense of being cut off from the world, from other people, from oneself” -Virginia Woolf

“A good writer is always lucky. Very lucky.” We at the Review mourn the loss of Dag Solstad (1941–2025). In memory of his life and work, we’re unlocking his Art of Fiction interview from our archive. theparisreview.org/interview…

Doing my best to avoid the doom and gloom surrounding us. But this #AI threat to human #creativity and the #arts is hard to ignore.
If the US govt submits to pressure from Open AI and Google to grant their AI systems protection from copyright lawsuits then the arts will wither and die in the USA. Big Tech will make a fast buck at the expense of all the arts structures that have grown over many decades.

Today, as I resist an inundation of press requests to comment on @ShakespeareBT, seems a good day to re-read James Baldwin's great essay "Why I stopped hating Shakespeare": "to defeat all labels and complicate all battles" - yes.
