If any of you can gank me a copy of this, I will crochet you some violet lace.

Reading the LRB review of Bill Brown I just posted, I scribbled TIME PASSES in the margin next to the graf about how literature can redeem the material world from commodity fetishization. It's a reference to a famous passage from VW's To the Lighthouse. Crawling slowly, for I am a Bear of Very Little Brain, I come to the end of the graf only to discover that the reviewer is quoting from Brown's above piece on Virginia Woolf and objects.

So without knowing about any of this, I've been thinking about it since the first cataclysmic reading, in about 1968, with my eyes out on stix -- Sous les paves! -- of To the Lighthouse, which is, of course, la plage.

As you know, that's available only through PROJECT MUSE and maybe JSTOR as well. Both organizations can burn in hell for continuing to refuse to provide any access to its collections, by subscription or otherwise, to individuals. As an individual who does not live in the vicinity of a northern (civilized) public library system and who is unaffiliated with a major university, I can't get access to any of those journals no-how, not through interlibrary loan, not through "Access My Library," not through the Secretary of State's otherwise excellent provision of links to good articles, not for love or money, just not. I live in that (mostly southern) limbo and it's hateful. Right now I'm trying to find out if by enrolling in a single online course at WVU (four hours away and I couldn't hack it anyawy) I could get full WVU library privileges. Even with a senior citizen discount which may or may not apply to the online learning program, it would cost hundreds of dollars per course just to get that library access. Ridiculous.

ANYWAY, there's still hope. I have a retired professor friend who will do something next week to fix her university library password thingie and then she'll let me use it. So I may still be able to that get article for you by the end of next week, if you don't get it some other way before then, and you won't have to crochet anything. :-)
