it's too much
saul bellow?
i never really interacted w/frank when we were at school,
but the memory of him at those terrifying initial meetings
is pretty wild. he seemed to terrorize and inspire the fiction
people in a special way. and i loved _stop-time_.
let's send good thoughts out to neil young and all others
who are recovering or ailing - my guilt and paranoia,
i guess, but it seems almost like a punishment or a warning
to have all these great people go. clearly we've been
fucking up on a national scale, but they shouldn't have
to suffer for it...

seriously - i think i'll be going down to IC for the frank memorial -me and pete coco - my feelings extend less to frank (though i did have a pleasant conversation with him around the coffee machine once) but for all the union and confederate dead as of late. i wonder if it is a sign, though in marilynne's book the Ames' father gives a sermon about all the young soldiers who died of the flu, in which he says that it was not a plague, but a way of letting them avoid killing (which is abstract in our case, but apt, i think)
