I remember seeing an art talk titled MKCDT about 5 years ago. A docent at a museum in Wisconsin was discussing minimalist works—but what was great was she explained the artist’s process. I always wished museums would take time to print up explanations of the process instead of the little tags with the dimensions and the year. Who cares? I want to know why the person created Abstract #12 not that Abstract #12 is 18 x 24 and created in 2004. If you don’t know why, don’t ask me to invest that much thought in it either.

Buying a gun in our times, especially for self-defense, seems to me an aggressive or defensive act—a statement by the purchaser about how he feels about his community, his neighbors and his country. It means he doesn’t feel safe in his bed at night, that he doesn’t trust the police to stop the criminals, and he doesn’t trust his fellow citizens not to attack. You can mask it with talk of freedom or the Constitution but underneath it all is fear. Firearms have become a manifestation of a massive distrust of both government and the wider society, a physical manifestation of a deepening societal and political divide. I don’t mean to ignore the millions of hunters and target shooters, for whom guns carry none of this loaded symbolism. Partisans on either side unfairly dismiss these people, but, rightly or wrongly, guns have become a symbol for currents deeper in our national soul than discussions on hunting and skeet shooting, and we need to talk about guns, if just to work out where we want this country to go.

An ode to the odious artist statement. Sometimes I really don’t know what happened or why. Do other professions have to explain themselves?

"People without hope not only don’t write novels, but what is more to the point, they don’t read them. They don’t take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage. The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."Mar 25-Happy Birthday, Flannery O’Connor!
