Ah Jozi how I've missed you. It's great to be back. ❤️ #Jozi #Johannesburg #Melville #SouthAfrica
For this week’s #ThursdayBooksandBeer I’m reading Herman Melville’s 1852 novel (I hesitate to say ‘classic’ as it was widely reviled at the time and largely since) Pierre, or The Ambiguities. Next week I’m seeing the Leos Carax film adaptation and I wanted to have a sense of what he was working with. I’ve paired it with a ‘Damn Good Ale’ from the team at Inner North Brewing (head brewer Zac provides an American connection to Melville). “Oh, what quenchless feud is this, that Time hath with the sons of Men!” #reading #literature #Melville #craftbeer
Grant Jacob Schmidt (born July 21, 1948) is a former political figure in Saskatchewan, Canada. He represented #Melville from 1982 to 1991 in the #LegislativeAssemblyOfSaskatchewan as a #ProgressiveConservative. He was born in #BalcarresSaskatchewan, the son of George Schmidt and Helen Banerd, and received a law degree from the #UniversityOfSaskatchewan. Schmidt articled in Melville and practised law there. In 1971, he married Sheron Steyck.

#3GoodThings (gratitude to students)

1. Their #Melville papers, most on #Moby-Dick, were so thoughtful, complex, & well-written. Would that I could have written like that in college.

2. The creative writers who showed, through humor, depth, & again, beautiful writing (not #AI; their own voices I heard), their understanding & appreciation for a magnificent novel.

3. How lucky to have the honor to teach Moby-Dick to my students. I hope I was a good guide. Like the guides I had.

Ich betrete die Intensivstation, sehe zwei Kollegen sich am #Pneumothorax abmühen. Sage "ah Thoraxdrainage nach Ahab und #Melville" und keiner lacht!

Verdammte #Analphabeten!
