As I am preparing to pack up and leave New Jersey, having spent a fantastic semester here as Charlotte M. Craig and Max Kade Writer-in-Residence (Danke, Dr. Craig, Danke, Max Kade Foundation!), I am sifting through my notebooks, looking for unanswered questions. Many of them, of course, have to do with my current book project, on friendship and technology. Others, however, are more broadly to do with the place I am about to leave again. Maybe you can help me with some of these:
The United States of America is too big to fail, or is it?- When a „cute“ girl on College Ave yells at me: „Cookies against Child Abuse!!!“, what am I supposed to say?
- Is the Occupy Movement too shy to start a revolution, too aloof to get involved in politics, or both? Which course of action would you prefer? Do you remember the Occupy Movement?
- Can you be a fan of portraits by both Thomas Eakins and John Singer Sargeant?
- Why is the only Republican contender for the nomination who has not yet had a major blackout also the one who receives the least support? Or did I miss something about Jon Huntsman?
- Two years from now, college freshmen won’t have any memory of 9/11. How is that going to affect the „debate“?
- Do you agree that even the way s
mall-town America looks dilapidated can seem dated? - Does anyone have a greater reading voice than Toni Morisson?
- Assuming you have recently been to a museum, you have friends, and you have a place of residence, consider the following: have you ever had a chance encounter with a friend in a museum in a city in which neither of you lived? Thank you, Eric!
- What other questions do I have?
