The importance of interpretation, with its implicit acknowledgment of complexity and diversity, the need to be curious and to ask questions, is deeply valued in Jewish culture. The words we use — these, too, change everything. Do we say unprovoked attacks or resistance to decades of brutal oppression? Do we say terrorists or militants? Illegal occupation or self-preservation? In other words, real-time midrashim — the frenzied, adrenaline-fueled contemporaneous framings of what is unfolding right now — pit wildly disparate interpretations against one another. The single common thread running through many, if not most, of these stories may be fury. Fury born of moral certitude and of the conviction that anyone offering a different interpretation from ours must be blind or monstrous or both.

In the seemingly idyllic town of Rundle Junction, Bennie and Walter are preparing to host the wedding of their eldest daughter Clem. A marriage ceremony at their beloved, rambling home should be the happiest of occasions, but Walter and Bennie have a secret. A new community has moved to Rundle Junction, threatening the social order and forcing Bennie and Walter to confront uncomfortable truths about the lengths they would go to maintain harmony.

Meanwhile, Aunt Glad, the oldest member of the family, arrives for the wedding plagued by long-buried memories of a scarring event that occurred when she was a boy in Rundle Junction. As she uncovers details about her role in this event, the family begins to realize Clem’s wedding may not be exactly what it seemed. Clever, passionate, artistic Clem has her own agenda. What she doesn’t know is that by the end, everyone will have roles to play in this richly-imagined ceremony of familial connection – a brood of quirky relatives, effervescent college friends, ghosts emerging from the past, a determined little mouse, and even the very group of new neighbors whose presence has shaken Rundle Junction to its core.

Sex: A Diversion for the Dog Days

excerpt:

. . . . Can any actor working today be sexier than Michael Kitchen? I first became aware of him in 1992's Enchanted April . . . . We see him with an oboe reed held, apparently forgotten, between his lips; disheveled and squinting (his character has poor vision), he speaks little and with an almost eccentrically abstracted air. And yet within that fog of abstraction burns a fine, rare ember.

More recently I've been binging on . . . Foyle's War, the British television drama set during and after World War II. . . Michael Kitchen is quietly extraordinary. His Foyle is more given to silence than speech, which affords us ample opportunity to watch him think. This may sound on par with watching a pot of water heat, but Kitchen makes the act subtly scintillating. His intelligence works on many levels at once: we can see him parsing clues at the same time as he makes psychological assessments and registers how unfolding events keep company with age-old patterns of human nature and human folly. His Foyle is low-key without being recessive, slow to anger without being a patsy, heavily burdened without being bitter, and modest without being self-effacing (despite his lofty and lengthy job title, he regularly introduces himself as simply "a police officer"). His Foyle is an expert, attentive observer. He is clear-sighted about his own limitations. He is often a bit tetchy. He seems to lack self-regard but possess self-knowledge. He appears, crucially and without complaint, lonely. But what makes Michael Kitchen ultimately so sexy may be simply his timing: the myriad, slightly syncopated pauses as he speaks, the subtle hesitations, alterations and reconsiderations in the movement of his face and body as he reflects, questions, listens, watches. This is a man uncommonly alive to every moment in its particularity. This is the basis both of moral strength and, for me, of sex appeal. Graying and craggy though Kitchen may be, slight of stature and soft of voice, these traits serve less to camouflage than to highlight the thrilling contradiction of his crackling vitality.

So, this book is a scam.

Kind of.  Accidentally maybe?  So I took a family studies class and my teacher listed Annual Editions: The Family as one of our required textbooks.  So I bought it, since required.  But when I was writing one of the assigned article summaries i was too lazy to walk across the room and get the book so i googled the article and there it was free on the internet.

It wasn’t until class was almost over that it occurred to me to wonder just how many of the articles were free on the internet and spent a few hours googling every title in the book.  Out of 56 articles four were only available to people with a subscription to The Atlantic and six I could only find as abstracts. 

So my classmates and I dropped good money mostly for free articles!  A scam?  I can’t think of any other word for it.  During a global pandemic while some of us have lost our jobs. That’s pretty epic scummy. Did our teacher know?  I did ASK the teacher-- nicely, didn’t want to accused her.  She dodged the question and just said “students like having the articles all in one place.” I don’t think my kind teacher was scamming us, I think she just didn’t think.  The publisher may actually be epic scummy.

So if you get assigned an Annual Editions, try to wrangle a list of articles out of your teacher so you don’t have to pay for it.  And then be angry.  In these uncertain times we gotta protect people from scumbaggery when it appears.
