and wainscoting from “Mystic River.”Meanwhile in Cambridge we have,
at Harvard’s math department,
Noam Elkies’s “Slummerville”–

hop, skip, and jump. But now you are evading– you are dodging the
issue…. after all, Cambridge is hell enough.”– Great Circle, a 1933 novel by Conrad Aiken (father of Joan Aiken, who wrote The Shadow Guests)
