• There’s no better definition of frustration than “a professional tennis player not named Roger Federer.”
• Parallel: Harry Brighouse’s observation that there are structural (dis)advantages for women (and others) in graduate schools and academic departments and Katie Couric’s Sisyphean task of being a news anchor.
• Folk songs are like old vines that find ways to sink anchors in every surface, which is why I want this book about “Stagolee.” (Speaking of, check out Nick Cave’s version.) (Also, stagolee.org, even though a lot of the links don’t work.)
