fabulist



Ivory S. Madison is the Founder and CEO of Red Room. I know her cook. It's my dear sister Sarah's dear friend Lois' brother. He's a chef and skater.













Click here or on the image at left to find Jonathon Keats at MAGNES in Red Room...or on Red Room..or...Jonathon calls himself a fabulist now. Fabulous.






Here's an old piece Keats wrote in the Prospect on book-length myths, as reimagined by contemporary authors. The series was published by Canongate, says the fabulist Keats. Following is what they say at the Canongate site:

Welcome to a site where you can read about, and contribute to, the cultural zeitgeist. This website is about a group of people sharing opinions and thoughts about things that make our lives interesting, fun, even frustrating. Whether it's a play you've seen or a poem you've written, a review of your favourite book, an opinion you've got about something in the news or something you simply have to get off your chest, we want to hear it - and so do the other contributors to this site.

Sounds like a sign I'd like to see on the doors of a museum.

BREAKING NEWS: USC to Absorb HUC in LA?

VERY INTERESTING.

A Year-end Letter Update from James and Family

Dear Friends and Family, On the brink of the new year on December 31, 2019 we stood at the foot of Kehinde Wiley's brand new monumental equestrian sculpture in downtown Richmond at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. There were a bunch of families gathered around taking pictures together. Emblematic of this entire year and entitled “ Rumors of War ,” the monument depicts an unarmed Black man in heroic pose atop a horse. The man’s sneakers are in the stirrups, looking back over their shoulder like Napoleon as they ride forward up a ridge . It was a strange harbinger of the year that was, and how it’s going. Kamala Harris will be named our vice president in a few weeks. In between, the apocalyptic has been commonplace; I mean, what a year. Emil started high school this fall. Graduation this past spring from Mark Day School was likely the year’s highlight. Karen is still at Mark Day. This fall they've been doing hybrid learning. It’s the first time Karen and Emil have not been goi
