KENYON REVIEW: IN CONVERSATION WITH KATHARINE WEBER

November 1, 2016 Molly Schulman

As will be gathered
from these notes of mine,
I am the sort of person
who approves
of what others abhor
and detests
the things they like.

—Sei Shonagon, The Pillow Book
circa 1000 AD

Clearly,
if Sei Shonagon had had access
to the Internet,
she would have had a weblog
instead of a Pillowbook.

—Ruth Ozeki, Weblog
circa 2000 AD

“There are eleven great planetary gyres,” he said. “The flotsam that rides the gyres is called drift. Drift that stays in the orbit of the gyre is considered to be part of the gyre memory. The rate of escape from the gyre determines the half-life of drift.…”

He picked up the Hello Kitty lunchbox and turned it over in his hands.

— Oliver in A Tale for the Time Being

“The Library seemed different now. When he reached Level Nine, his feet, acting out of habit, took him toward the precipitous footbridge and the improbable nook, but when he approached, he saw that his carrel was occupied by someone else…. The cold wind rising up from the Bindery made him shiver. He listened for the faint, hopeful voice he’d heard that night, but all he could hear was the wind.”

— Benny, The Book of Form and Emptiness
