Faulkner

Dealing with some family stuff at the moment, so I’m not posting much. Just jumping in to say this was a wonderfully written post (as expected from you) that makes me want to give Succession another shot. At a certain point, I found the characters too horrible to watch (and some of the dialogue a bit monotonous) so I dipped out. I find a lot of HBO series insular, nihilistic, and fashionably bleak, but you’ve made me do some fresh thinking on this one. I’m glad the writer of the article seems to genuinely value soaps and their performers, which puts it a cut above most of these pieces.

Another literary giant leaves us:

Yikes.

Swiatek played terribly and still won.

Wow, heart attack.

I would not have predicted Ruud would’ve eaten Zverev up like that. I mean a straight-sets win with a third-set bagel? By making the final, even if he loses easily to Novak, he will at least defend all of his points from last year and has quieted a lot of naysayers.

Oh dear:
