Brian Hamilton-Vise

I know that what I am asking is impossible. But in our time, as in every time, the impossible is the least that one can demand. —James Baldwin

The very best part

I’ve finally been listening through Terry Eagleton’s 2008 Terry Lectures this week at work. His arguments are interesting, often entertaining, and more or less just what I expected. By far the most pleasantly surprising bit so far, though, as been the 11-year-old singer-songwriter who appears at the end of the third lecture for, as far as I can tell, absolutely no reason.

Update: Ah, it turns out it was Eagleton’s son, which he indicates at the end of the final lecture.
