I've been reading Bataille's essay "The Psychological Structure of Fascism" to elucidate Blue of Noon some, but it is a very difficult piece. I've also been working on Consider the Lobster by David Foster Wallace. It's going really quickly. I'm trying to figure out what to read after. Either the new collection of Vonnegut's novellas, Calvino's If on a winter's night a traveler, or Taussig's Defacement. I haven't read a lot of theory lately, so I feel bad about that.
