		<title>Werewolves Will Defeat You With The Power Of Their&#8230; Sandwiches</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At least according to Beach House &#8217;s phenomenal &#8220;Walk in the Park,&#8221; by Allen Cordell, on Vimeo:

Recently I saw Steve Asma talk about monsters; soonafter, my friend Steve Aubrey, editor of the Suspicious Anatomy, sent me the above wolfboy/zombie-esque bully video.  I find the action of it mesmerizing.  Perhaps all good stories end [...]]]></description>

The CIA has a page for kids (thanks to Chris T. for pointing this out) that hilariously misuses (or, should i say, &#8220;misuses&#8221;) quotation marks:
Welcome. We’re glad you’re here to learn more about the Central Intelligence Agency. The CIA is an independent US government agency that provides national security &#8220;intelligence&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Author Reviews Denon’s *No Tomorrow* For Electric</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Read the review on The Outlet. Denon&#8217;s masterful long short story is translated by Lydia Davis and introduced by Peter Brooks, who hints at the mystery of the novella.
On my own ongoing investigation into the novella, for Electric Literature:
What makes a novella a novella, as opposed to a long short story or a short novel? [...]]]></description>

		<title>Literature As A Fractal Rainbow Pt. 3: Thesis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finishing up where I left off (literature-as-fractal, literature-as-rainbow), more on my survey of literature after the Enlightenment, the Fractal Rainbow:
Combining the ideas in the last two posts in this series—with attention to literature (artful verse; the continuum of texts figuratively documenting the human experience) and to the play of signs, myths, archetypes, and words—I end [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Eroticism Of The Squish</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
That&#8217;s Jeff Vilencia&#8217;s first art house movie, made in 1992, courtesy Hugh Raffles (Insectopedia).  Says Raffles of the whole intriguing philosophical quandary of squishing living things:
The Supreme Court decision of April 20, 2010, voiding HR 1887, the so-called &#8220;crush video law,&#8221; by an 8-1 majority, provoked an intense and immediate response, summarised in this [...]]]></description>

Not since Galen&#8217;s De Elementis has been set in ink a single compendium of medicological knowledge so extensive &#38; practicably useful as SUSPICIOUS ANATOMY Workbook No. 15: The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Old Font Catalogues = SCANDAL, Scandal, &#038; More Scandal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think the idea here is to show you what the fonts look like laid out in newspaper headlines, &#38;c. (And a truly lovely Q, no doubt.) But, as a potential buyer of type, I would be way more into reading the Dadaist poesy of the catalogue than ever ordering anything. Exhibits A through Zed, [...]]]></description>

What is a rainbow?  To paraphrase Wikipedia:
A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that causes a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Short Meditation On Doom &#038; DOOM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Rap covers, more than rock covers, allow for the voice to take full prominence. The music is the same, pure karaoke.  The orchestra is empty, and the great singer alone prevails.  Or, in this case, the highly adaptive Mighty Mos Def brings his inexplicable magnetism—his jazzy nonchalance? his smiley-ness in the face of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Literature As A Fractal Rainbow Pt. 1: Fractal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This spring, I was asked to teach a survey of literature from 1800 to today at Brooklyn College, but I didn&#8217;t want to teach a survey class with a boring title (nothing with the words &#8220;vista,&#8221; &#8220;perspective,&#8221; &#8220;lens,&#8221; &#8220;examining,&#8221; &#8220;investigating,&#8221; &#8220;tradition,&#8221; &#38;c.).
