After getting settled in Paris and adjusting to my new department at Ecole Normale Superieure, I may now be ready to resume blogging. I will give it a try and see how it goes.
Thanks Anon! Not sure. I have been learning how things work here in France, and a lot of what I am learning would not be of interest to people outside France, I think. I've also been wondering whether, now that I am primarily in France, I ought to write in French! Not sure.
I personally would be very interested to hear about how things work in France ... even if you write it in French. People can always use google translate, so it would still be mostly accessible to everyone. Certainly it is better than your silence!
Yes, I am quite sure that my read of events in the Middle East is naive. I don't live there.
I feel the negatives of the Jewish occupation much more keenly precisely because there are so many people I know who are Israeli. It's not quite, but a little bit, as though some remote cousins, or at least some people I have a trong connection to, were found to have committed some felony and/or put themselves in an impossible situation: it is much more striking than when it happens to strangers. The expectations are higher.
great,
ReplyDeleteI am ready to resume following this blog.
Has the resumption of blogging been stalled? We miss you.
