Hi all. I seem to have lost my glasses, and I'm leaving on vacation in just over a week. Are there places in town that give walk-in or same-day eye exams so I can get new glasses ASAP? Thanks.
Here is a fun piece. This was given to me by a colleague when she retired -- she'd had it rolled up in her office for decades. This was published in the Paris newspaper Libération in 1985, with instructions of when Christo would be on this very bridge (on the afternoon of the same day the piece appeared in the paper!) and you could go and have it signed. My colleague went, met him, and had it signed -- the hand-drawn signature is the one in marker on the bottom right.
Apparently that was the first appearance of the term "The New Weird." I looked into getting a copy of it, but it's ridiculously expensive, and later editions don't have MJH's introduction. I'm really curious about this initial definition of the (sub)genre. Does anyone know if the intro has been reprinted anywhere, or if it -- or even just the relevant passages -- is available anywhere online? Thanks.
