Suddenly a shot rang out. A door slammed. The maid screamed.

Because really the whole story is completely an operetta.

I’m not sure I believe this, but it pleases me in a “Materiality of Communication” kind of way.

Not as much as the phrase ‘mad awkward’…

Go back and read some of the Pulitzer winners from Times Past, you’ll be shocked at how bad some of the writing in the Feature Writing category really is. Most of those articles are still fascinating though, which I guess goes to show how many other things go into making good journalism besides good prose.

This Rubyfruit piece, on the other hand, has it all. This is the greatest newspaper journalism I have ever seen.

انا صغيرا كنت في اخوتي، وحدثا
في بيت ابي، كنت راعيا غنم ابي.

يداي صنعتا الارغن، واصابعي الفت المزمار. هلليلويا

من هو الذي يخبر سيدي، هو الرب الذي يستجيب للذين يصرخون اليه.

هو ارسل ملاكه، وحملني (واخذني) من غنم ابي ومسحني بدهن مسحته. هلليلويا

اخوتي حسان وهم اكبر مني والرب لم يسر بهم.

خرجت للقاء الفلسطيني فلعنني باوثانه.

و لكن انا سللت سيفه الذي كان بيده، وقطعت راسه.

ونزعت العار عن بني اسرائيل. هلليلويا

Find a kindred soul in London at 5 (shouldn’t be difficult) and create a few of those marvelous modern dance moments you have with Sam.
