Though it isn't the kind of thing one hears discussed every day, serious Disney fans do tend to know that Goofy's original name was Dippy Dawg. But how many of the non-obsessive know that Mickey's faithful pet Pluto was first called Rover?
A quotation from William Faulkner
I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet’s, the writer’s, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet’s voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail.William Faulkner (1897-1962) American novelist
Speech (1950-12-10), Nobel Prize Banquet, Stockholm

The Hamburger Hamlet
Open Humanities Press has published Tom Cohen's #book Ecocide and Inscription vol. 1: Black Ops. Petrolepathy, Escaped Slaves, Cinemacide – A Tele-mnemonics for the After-Times.
Examining works by #Faulkner, #Morrison and #Hitchcock among others, Tom Cohen traces a ‘hyper-blackness’ that exceeds racial binaries and links to the viscous materiality of #oil. He argues that this #blackness before face or figuration offers a way to rupture the ‘Anthropocene’ spell and its attendant anaesthesias. By tracking inscriptions that melt back into a prefigural domain, Cohen outlines a literary structure of #climatechange itself, one that undoes conventional notions of meaning, reference, and #human exceptionalism.

As I Lay Diarying
Haven't seen that cover before. Not pleased with the portrait of Benjy or the cliché depiction of Dilsey, and not so sure about the circus monkey. But it's good to see a cover that I haven't seen before (and as a Faulkner scholar I've seen many covers of Le bruit et la fureur/The Sound and the Fury), and I hope you enjoyed the book!
