Well, I've almost finished rereading Bottom: On Shakespeare. I think I understand it a little better than I did the last time I read it. I've read a lot more Shakespeare since then. Of course, reading this book makes me want to reread all of Shakespeare. I wonder if anyone has ever performed Celia Zukofsky's Pericles. If find it interesting that both Bottom: On Shakespeare and "A" conclude with massive constructions by Celia. Of course, the Zukofsky's marriage and their family unit with their son Paul seems central to Zukofsky's writing. I particularly love the dialogue between father and son about all of Shakespeare's works which appears in the center of Bottom.
I look forward to reading "A" 1 on December 1. Man, Mr. Zukofsky sure knows a lot of languages. Reading him makes me want to work on my Latin, etc.
