...Και τότε μέσα από τις νέες συναντήσεις και συναναστροφές πιθανόν να ξεφυτρώσουν νέες γνώμες, καθώς κι αποφάσεις για μια νέα δράση. Εκείνο που λείπει στην Ελλάδα σήμερα είναι η συζήτηση από τα κάτω. https://t.co/NGH136Ew18
Joyce Carol Oates has published 66 novels; 50 short-story collections; more than a dozen novellas, plays, essay collections, children’s books, and books of poetry; and several memoirs. But her public image isn’t only about the books anymore. For an author who has been a rumored Nobel contender on and off since the ’80s, she is curiously underread. In another way, she has become very well known for her second life on X, which she joined at her former publisher’s suggestion in 2012. Now, she posts many times a day, sometimes late into the night. Her account there is excessive and loose, a counterweight to her essays and memoirs, which can seem opaque and professorial.
In one day this May, for instance, she tweeted 36 times about the following subjects: boxing, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, shortened attention spans, Jonathan Swift, ‘Madame Bovary,’ ‘Jude the Obscure,’ people who read works of classic literature too quickly, her late husband, the Elizabeth Taylor ‘Cleopatra,’ the Unabomber, and her cats, Zanche and Lilith. Once, she shared a picture of several giant yellow and purple-brown blisters on her bare foot. Some of her tweets have become minor classics, like one from 2021 describing “wan little husks of autofiction.”
“At the time, I was reading Percival Everett about lynching in America, and here’s some little auto thing about somebody who got divorced, some white woman,” she tells Emma Alpern. “Like, what?” She seems ambivalent about the platform. “I think, ah — it’s sort of just a waste of time, basically.”

Μερικές σκέψεις για το πώς η λεγόμενη ενδημική διαφθορά δεν έχει να κάνει με παντοτινές παθογένειες αλλά με την αντίληψη της Νέας Δημοκρατίας για τη διακυβέρνηση
