cold bump

December 27, 2024

I don’t follow the academic calendar, I just roll around in it. Doing the same routes every day, plus or minus 50,000 students, faculty, staff and what-nots. 

 

Here and now falls in the midst of a break between quarters with lots of open spaces, locked-down empty buildings and a little more down time than usual.  Idle hands, as you know, are tools of the devil. But in my hands I hold 400 pages of Rachel Kushner’s latest and greatest book, Creation Lake

 

When it first came out I read a blurb about it and forgot it.  Secret agent “noir” books are not my style. Then a few days ago I picked it up at the library and took a closer look.  This is not your average book. I’ve read a couple Kushner books in the past and she’s a real badass. 

 

I’ve read 47% of those 400 pages but I can 100% fully recommend that you read this book.
