I wanted to create a situation that Trump would not be able to actually catch up to in reality.

I think graduate students deserve the right to organize. So if I can help people understand that it’s not hard to start, I’ll feel very happy with this interview.

You really need to think strategically about how universities work, how they are trying to invest their capital, and then go after them on those grounds, and use our positionality as contingent academics to our advantage.

Bierce's cynicism of our institutions, the rich, religion, and common beliefs could have been written yesterday.

In my current novels, the satyr play is interwoven with the tragedy. Seriousness and fun are intertwined, philosophy, the former queen of the sciences is one with its jester …

What the feminist health movement really did was change the way that we understand evidence and experience – and actually the knowledge of the body. Individual experience can be as legitimate as scientific knowledge.

On some level, Vermont remains the arugula-chomping hippie at the farmers' market, while New Hampshire is still a guy asserting his right to mow the lawn while naked.

You have to look beyond the monster itself in order to understand what it actually means.

I read Bolaño first as a general reader, then as a translator, and finally as a critic.

Lori Cole
The questionnaire punctures the bravado of the manifesto, which is such a singular, almost bold, optimistic doctrine or document. The questionnaire allows room for doubt, ambivalence, dissent, and debate.

It never reached the level of aesthetic. That's like a craps shooter talking about his skill with dice. I was just hoping to get lucky.

Captives – Norman Manea
Captives speaks to Sebald’s call to stick within the register of memory, even if memory has been stripped of its supporting features.

Andrew Hartman
The metaphor of war works from the assumption that there is no consensus, that there never was agreement to begin with.

"Meet the state’s workforce needs” is a dangerous misreading of what it means for universities to provide a public benefit.

The Future – Marc Augé / Heroes – Franco ‘Bifo’ Berardi
Neither Augé nor Bifo wants the future to be a dodge, and nor should we.

glo has this great persistence to it. I would probably be put on fire if I ask any less of myself, the world, human nature, the human condition --- no one would hang around.

Harraga – Boualem Sansal
The canon of world literature should not just reflect a liberal-humanist position.

The Numero Group: Rob Sevier and Ken Shipley
We’ve had a manifest destiny mindset since the beginning. Our goal is to be the largest AND best independent catalog company in the world, which means making left turns at right turn only intersections.

Ultimately I am interested in Caribbean writing for itself, on its own terms. I am interested in it because it is interesting.

The Roar of Morning – Tip Marugg
The Roar of Morning is quite anti-climactic --- in a digressive and descriptive mode it falls well short of self-knowledge or it fails to intimate truths, those buried umbilical cords, that an apocalyptic event is waiting to disinter.

Well, you know, nothing succeeds like success. Why do the Young Lords and the Red Guard and the Young Patriots and everybody else model themselves after the Party? Because they were super influential. Because they were making things happen.
↧
Joshua Bloom (pt 2)
I think at a fundamental level, that’s the first thing for understanding the Party. The Party was about people trying to challenge the oppressive conditions that they faced and not being able to do it alone.

Friedrich Nietzsche: Edu-hater
Why offer a set of reforms when your goal is to tear down the whole system of values upon which your current society is built?

I spoke of the exodus and of the repatrination. I quoted Prince Far-I: ‘We’re moving out of Babylon/ One destination, ina Ithiopia …’, I quoted. ‘Ithiopia, the tyrants are falling/ Ithiopia, Britain the great is falling…'

Paradoxically one way to cover a conspiracy is to present it as a conspiracy theory and count on the fact that it will not be taken seriously.

The default world of literary fiction is a very professional class, with occasional sprinkles of They Closed the Mill and Now We're All on OxyContin. I wanted to be more matter of fact about post-industrial small town life.

I often have to think about Brecht: “Ah, what an age it is / When to speak of trees is almost a crime / For it is a kind of silence about injustice!”

I think that understanding a particular philosophical position means that you try your best to understand the particular geographical and cultural space it emerges from.

We talk a lot about the limits of critique. I’m more worried about the absence of critique. I mean institutional critique, including self-critique. That’s how professions get out of blind alleys and advance.

University decline is like climate change. It has multiple causes... [and] each cause works slowly enough to allow most people to stay in denial about their effects.

Like Max Weber, I think it’s dishonest and somewhat cheesy to use the lecture platform to voice one’s own political leanings. Students deserve better than to be harangued or have their liberal or conservative prejudices confirmed.

By virtue of being the child of a migrant, Lorraine Hansberry understood something deep about all these spaces that were supposed to be hopeful.

It’s fun to see people talk about revolution seriously, because they can’t imagine anything else anymore and it’s starting to enter the consciousness.

A Marxist Education – Wayne Au
The overdetermination of education as a moral endeavor is rife both within the profession and in public and political discourse.

Did Congress know that as a result of Sputnik we were going to have a deconstruction-mad America?

For me the great thing about anthropology – and the reason I remain an anthropologist – lies in this freedom that it grants its practitioners to roam intellectually.

I love stories where people go to hell, and obviously this novel is my contribution to that literature.

I’ve tried to think about the university as something to be protected and looked after, and for that very reason, also as the object of our most unrelenting critique.

Jack Ruby and the Origins of the Avant-Garde in Dallas – Robert Trammell
Dallas in particular, makes weirdos, the truth of whose identities are more fruitfully explored at a bar stool than in a congressional commission.

Gilgamesh is like a more complex version of a Rorschach test, a literary kaleidoscope that you can turn many ways and see so many patterns within. What you pick out often says a lot about you.

An album based on a novel about a 2020’s apocalypse written in the 1990’s resonated with listeners in ways that I couldn’t have imagined when I started writing the songs many years ago.
