Men lose their minds speaking to pretty women.
A nod to Kierkegaard and Walker Percy: existentialist tomfoolery, political satire, literary homage, word mongering, a year-round summer reading club, Dylanesque music bits, apocalyptic marianism, poetry, fiction, meta-porn, a prisoner work-release program.

It’s a TOTB thang.
What are you, Christopher West’s lackey?
Is he related to Eddie Haskell?
In the hidden audiences, right?
Having just come back from seeing My Week With Marilyn, I can attest to the truth of this.
Never heard that title. Posthumous Rohmer?
You’re funny, Angelico. Posthumous Rohmer is the name of my CCR cover band.
Funny, how?
And would a CCR cover band constitute a CCR Revival?
I thought it might remind you of a certain Dinner with the Devil.
Oh, did you now?
“The boy perks up for a second, but seeing Holden doesn’t really help him. On the contrary. He can only contrast Holden’s resplendent reality with his own shadowy and precarious existence.”
– Walker Percy, The Moviegoer
Sunday night, we had dinner with the devil.
Deirdre saw her first, graveside at the abbey; I managed, astonishingly, to remain unaware. The devil was bright and young and quite pretty, in a short-upper-lip Irish sort of way – though her skin was more Mediterranean than Celtic. Slight of build, her torso draped in a filmy polka-dot halter top, her shoulders covered by a light black sweater. Given her apparent youth and unserious beauty, it would have been easy to mistake the devil for a literary groupie, the sort of dewy, adoring creature that might have bedeviled Percy himself, back when he was in the flesh. That is, until she started talking, and revealed herself to be Dr. Jessica Hooten: not a coed at all – a genuine academic. Adoring, yes – she was busy at work on a book about Percy and Dostoevsky, based on her sojourn in the Percy archives at UNC – but no groupie.
Of course, I didn’t find any of this out until later. I met Dr. Hooten on this wise: waking with Deirdre from a late-afternoon nap, I got a call from Potter…
Is “late-afternoon nap” one of those old married couple euphemisms?
Howcome you don’t “up from comments” this beauty of a beast, Matthew?
JOB
Potter: Alas, no.
JOB: Still working on it.
Oh, don’t make me jealous.
Be-HAVE!
JOB
The great St. Teresa of Avila was said to be “maddeningly beautiful” and “well built”.
Someone should do a study on the chemical reactions that occur in a man’s brain in the presence of such beauty. I’d be interested in knowing what drug it compares to.
This explains why all my male students flunk.
(OK, actually they do as well as the women. Siiiggghhhh.)
It does help explain why the past sixteen years of my life are such a blur.
