I'm finished with the first article of the new year. (I cheated and started in December based on notes taken last spring.) Now on to the second.

I learned a lot about Samuel Beckett. I learned mostly that I already knew a lot about him.

Next article: I'm going to try to write about Intravenus, a poetic collaboration that I've translated. I'm hoping my critical argument will arise somehow out of what I write. That's the "February article." My plan is to write enough in one year so I will have three or four articles come out each year for the next three to four years. It sounds crazy; one of those New Year's plans that will be forgotten by March.
