Two Dimensional Time and Annalee Newitz’s 2nd Novel

This is a very long blog post. In my usual fashion, I’ll break up the text blocks with photos. Most of today’s images are from a recent trip to Italy.

At first, starting out the book, it seemed too hard. But, just like when I see a Shakespeare play, I adapted a bit—and lived with the fact that many of […]
