I am in Santa Maria di Leuca, Puglia, at the very southern tip of Italy currently, and as such only reading is on my agenda for the coming week. I’ll finish Karatani (more on progress in Dissertation), and restart Jensen Suther’s True Materialism, a book I’ve been meaning to discuss with Carson Welch for a few months now—and as the summer heat really sets in, we’ve slapped a date on it.
