Aren’t we all valets to our mini-doxies?
I just stumbled across your post on Zeno serendipitously. I am living in Helsinki and just got a note from the embassy that Richard Russo would be giving a talk here next week, and it got me thinking about upstate (for the second time this summer, as I just read my colleague Kim Edwards’ book set there). I got my doctorate at Syracuse, and I really enjoyed those years, including the rare moments when I could steal away from the dissertation to read the exciting authors who were enlivening the place then. I lost touch with Syracuse folks a long time ago (except for some academic connections) but something made me google Chris Zenowich as part of that literary remembrance. He was a friend during my time there, we met through our mutual friend Lee Conant. I did not know he had died. Thank you so much for your eloquent remembrance and tribute. I am sitting in my office after every one has gone home on a rainy night when the light is fast disappearing trying not to lose the moment you created….
Rich, Thank you so much for writing. Kihm
