MIGRATION
Dec 31, 2009
Encouraged by my publisher to have a FaceBook “presence”, and teased by various friends for NOT having one, I have decided to take the plunge, make a “profile” and a separate “page” for my books -- and it is to those more trafficked countries that Occasionalia is moving.
I promise to sweep the floors daily of any accumulating gossip, chit-chat, what-I’m-doings-at-this-moment, etc, and keep these pages for substantive discussion of this and that, literary, cultural and political.
If you’re not already FaceBooking, you’ll have to forgive the vocabulary of “friends” and “friending”, and becoming a “fan” -- which I still find annoying, and contra-factual. From Occasionalia’s point of view, “friends” get certain, more general writings, and “fans” receive more specifically book-related ones. Many essays go to both. I am also keeping a separate blog for those who are not FB members, but would like to keep reading my Occasionallia.
Here’s how you get there:
Hope you’ll check into one of these and dialogue with me, one way or another, on some of this material.
