The Good Terrorist - still

I will begin this blog by saying that I heard the poem by Dorothea Tanning on NPR http://writersalmanac.publicradio.org/ this a.m. I have a special place in my mind for Tanning because of a research project I did in Art History on her in college. Surrealist painter from Ill. and NYC- married to max ernst - interesting. Connected again to thoughts of college is the book The Good Terrorist - I am still reading it. wow - a month later - I am only a third through the book. I seem to read about 10 pages a day. This explains how the month passed so quickly. It brings back many memories to college and being involved in food not bombs. Making soup from food that was collected from health food stores and distributing it to some homeless folks. The main character Alice isn't exactly doing this (although she often cooks soup for her housemates after their political rallies). I am seeing her more as a home maker type involved in the renovation of a tenement in the UK that supports the dwellers who participate in their political agendas. Just describing the book here - people - don't get too sleepy....
