A Recommendation | A Pen Full of Vinegar
https://apenfullofvinegar.wordpress.com/2015/02/25/a-recommendation
A Pen Full of Vinegar. Who is my ideal reader? Well, ideal means non-existent. I have no notion of whom I’m writing for. Guy Davenport. February 25, 2015. I was hanging out with the wrong people. The bad people. An unusual crowd. A maddening friend. So went the parade of horribles as I nodded uncomfortably in my pew. Asleep? Such is life in the court. But what if you’re interested in connecting with your fellow human beings in a way that doesn’t require access to premium cable? Who is Ahab’s God? Like Pr...

Toni Morrison | A Pen Full of Vinegar
https://apenfullofvinegar.wordpress.com/2015/06/30/toni-morrison
A Pen Full of Vinegar. Who is my ideal reader? Well, ideal means non-existent. I have no notion of whom I’m writing for. Guy Davenport. June 30, 2015. May 23, 2016. Don’t write about Woman, write about a woman. This is a simple statement but controversial. That Morrison is not read because Morrison as a person no longer matters is a neat, linear progression I think more would make if they considered it. It also explains why Morrison, as a New York Magazine piece summarized. Chloe Ardelia Wofford is Toni ...

A Pen Full of Vinegar. Who is my ideal reader? Well, ideal means non-existent. I have no notion of whom I’m writing for. Guy Davenport. June 15, 2016. June 15, 2016. I met Arthur next to a pool. The pool was square. Pools are rectangular, bulbous, misshapen, inexplicable, infinite and occasionally massive. This pool was exactly even in length and width. I have not seen a pool like it. Aging California rest motels have a unique sense of appropriate. I picked one up. So what is this all about? It’s about r...

They Have One Book | A Pen Full of Vinegar
https://apenfullofvinegar.wordpress.com/2014/03/17/they-have-one-book
A Pen Full of Vinegar. Who is my ideal reader? Well, ideal means non-existent. I have no notion of whom I’m writing for. Guy Davenport. They Have One Book. March 17, 2014. March 24, 2014. Aquinas created the aphorism ‘a man of one book,’ or so I believe. Wikipedia confirms which is almost a reassurance. What I would like, and perhaps I should store this seed away for future efforts, is a book like Robert Merton’s. Or so I reassure myself. That in the beginning when the world was young there were a great ...

Notes | A Pen Full of Vinegar
https://apenfullofvinegar.wordpress.com/2015/02/17/notes/comment-page-1
A Pen Full of Vinegar. Who is my ideal reader? Well, ideal means non-existent. I have no notion of whom I’m writing for. Guy Davenport. February 17, 2015. In equal parts fortunate and unfortunate I have received a steady supply of comments and views more than I ever imagined. Fortunate because each encourages me to do something I enjoy like a wink or a nudge. Unfortunate because I feel unable to meet even these humble expectations. One thing I’ve noticed from the two or three episodes of Cowboy Beb...

A Pen Full of Vinegar. Who is my ideal reader? Well, ideal means non-existent. I have no notion of whom I’m writing for. Guy Davenport. Theism: Today’s Gnostical Turpitude. February 9, 2013. August 8, 2013. As the 2nd Corps of legionnaires and zouaves stood poised the town, their commanding officer arrived (Patrice MacMahon) and, as he trotted past the Legion, uttered the statement that today adorns the wall of almost every Legion bar: Voici la Legion! L’affaire est dans le sac! Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Thinking About Writing | A Pen Full of Vinegar
https://apenfullofvinegar.wordpress.com/2014/03/14/thinking-about-writing
A Pen Full of Vinegar. Who is my ideal reader? Well, ideal means non-existent. I have no notion of whom I’m writing for. Guy Davenport. March 14, 2014. March 24, 2014. Hello, dear reader, it has been a while. Here I am again and here I am writing. It is almost sad in some alienated, modern sense. Would it be so odd to compare unpopular bloggers to an avant-garde artist? But where can I find the words to write? This way of writing naturally complicates my afternoon in thoughts about why am I so fragmented?

Let’s Get Lost in the Woods | A Pen Full of Vinegar
https://apenfullofvinegar.wordpress.com/2014/03/16/lets-get-lost-in-the-woods
A Pen Full of Vinegar. Who is my ideal reader? Well, ideal means non-existent. I have no notion of whom I’m writing for. Guy Davenport. Let’s Get Lost in the Woods. March 16, 2014. March 26, 2014. I have noticed, dear reader, a recent tendency for the whimsical. Perhaps it is because I am still finding my blog legs. Perhaps it is because I notice the popularity my posts have so quickly attained. Am I too a slave to clicks and views? One of my favorite passage from John Steinbeck’s. To a God Unknown:.
