Happy 2012! I hope you all had a lovely New Year's; I celebrated in the utmost style (tea roses, candles, little ebony elephant placecard-holders) in downtown Manhattan with a lovely group of friends old and new, discussing everything from "silent courtship" to Marie Calloway to Michelle Tea to the way Daphne Guinness is trying to turn herself into a shoe. Since then I have done something weird to my neck and have spent the last 24 hours trying not to move it.
This inexplicably has given me permission to do nothing productive all day, and so I'm trying to squeeze in a little work tonight. My latest project is a collaboration with Scott Esposito of The Quarterly Conversation-- I'll tell you more as it gets closer. All I can say now is: I'm writing a long essay about Oulipo, and Edouard Levé, and Hervé Le Tellier. And where there is Le Tellier, there is sex.
Thing is, a brief search of Project Muse (nice redesign! Still a little buggy though) and JSTOR have not turned up much in the way of "Oulipo and gender" or "Oulipo and sex." I'm not saying the articles don't exist. I'm just saying in my lazy, torticular state I can't find them. Anyone have any leads? Or thoughts?
EXCELLENT. Looking forward to reading it. I loved Enough About Love but haven't read anything else of Le Tellier's. Levé is next, I suppose. He's on the nightstand.
