Tuesday, 01 June 2010 A home of its ownSuperfluities Redux is moving to its own domain today: www.superfluitiesredux.com. All future posts will appear there, though this site will remain online for the foreseeable future. This constitutes an easier way to find this blog and the material that I've developed for it over the past seven years, and also something of a rededication to its originating principles, as I explain in today's premiere post. I will look forward to your continuing participation and readership. Posted in /Miscellaneous Thursday, 27 May 2010 "Are plays proper literature?"... asks David Jays in today's Guardian. I'm rather with "zauberberg" in the comments section when she or he says, "I find the very fact that this question is posed baffling." But more, they'd pretty damn well be literature or the May 2010 issue
of Theater journal from the Yale School of Drama
is a waste of so much pulp and ink. This new issue specifically addresses
the current status of play- But in brief: are plays proper literature? Of course they are, and capable of being interpreted from a variety of valid standpoints as readers: for entertainment, for study, for formal qualities. It's just that, like novels, poems and other forms, sometimes they're very poor proper literature indeed.
