Curtis White

I just read a short essay called the Spirit of Disobedience by above author, wherefrom I got the three suggestions above above*. On the whole it's a great piece, and reminds me of Ralston Saul, Suzuki and Hofstadter, in that certain things (dare I say, truths? Interpretations of reality? No matter.) are said in a simple and engaging way that make sense, and that no one else ever seems to say. The kind of writing that makes the usual fare seem like an utterly misguided, laborious waste of time. I meant to write a post about the piece, but haven’t gotten round to it. Yet. And yet.

* since removed. They are "Misbehave. Make something beautiful. Try to win."
