hortus conclusus: adventures in sinaesthesia: Pepper and passion
http://thehortusconclusus.blogspot.com/2010/04/adventures-in-sinaesthesia-pepper-and.html
Fragrance in the aesthetic life. Friday, April 30, 2010. Adventures in sinaesthesia: Pepper and passion. In Salman Rushdie’s Moor’s Last Sigh. A spice heiress and a manager succumb to their passion for one another and make love on sacks of pepper. This scene won Rushdie the award for bad sex writing. To this page of the The Moor’s Last Sigh. I found myself thinking of it again, dear readers, when I spritzed on The Different Company’s Rose Poivrée. Our lovers could just as easily have lain in a literal mo...

Tuesday, September 30, 2008. Head of the year. Like the U.S. Congress, I'm on a break today for the Jewish holidays. A damp, overcast but still warmish morning with the scent of fall in the air. I am skipping all religious obligations except for tashlik. I don't know if it's the mental image of being on a beach, reminding me of the opening scenes of the movie "Chariots of Fire," but this song. And did those feet in ancient time. Walk upon England's mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God. That is t...

smashwords: A modest defense of plagiarism
http://smashwords.blogspot.com/2006/05/modest-defense-of-plagiarism.html
Monday, May 01, 2006. A modest defense of plagiarism. A response to “A Star is Shorn”, the Boston Globe’s editorial on Kaavya Viswanathan,. Did when he turned Canto 33 of Dante's Inferno. Into part of "The Monk's Tale". Of course, Chaucer didn't have a profit-hungry publisher and book packager crafting his stories into commercially viable chick lit, while at the same time touting the "freshness of the voice" (to quote a publicity letter cited by Ann Hulbert.

Saturday, December 13, 2008. The gifts that keep on giving. With the world economy imploding, newspapers would normally have nothing to distract worried readers except post-Dickensian seasonal miracles - the soup kitchen run by a reformed meth addict and soccer mom, the lost dog who hitched a ride home on a corporate jet. There appears to be an endless supply of such stories at this time of year, and an endless temptation for editors to run them. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Wednesday, September 17, 2008. What's in a name? Or what's in a word, like 'reformer' or 'deregulation'?
