Where were you when you found this out? Was it right now? For me, it was yesterday. Yesterday morning, had you said to me, “Do you think your maternal grandmother has ever subscribed to a magazine edited by Andrea Dworkin’s life partner?” I would have, taking the fact that almost anything is possible into account, have laughed a jolly, whole-throated laugh rooted in health and certainty and told you, “No. Between my maternal grandmother and the work of Andrea Dworkin there are at least nineteen degrees of separation.” By evening I was a broken man, weighed down with terrible, glittering knowledge.
Did you know that Julia "The Artist's Way" Cameron was married to Martin Scorscesescceeee? Odd.
Now I'm getting kinda misty reading the eulogy and also getting real sad that this Johnny Bravo tie-in will remain unobtainable.
Well-- in addition to being a very moving eulogy, with its appropriate not-ending, I now have that Marge Piercy poem to exhort me onward. So, thanks.
