#EMPiREFiLM
#EMPIREFILM is a written record of the first live tweeting of Andy Warhol's "Empire" on Feb. 19, 2011, at The Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Nothing is left out: in #EMPIREFILM we read every tweet made during the screening of this notoriously long film.

Health and Sickness in the Early American Novel

Good health is depicted as an extremely positive social value, almost an a priori condition of membership in the community. Characters who have the “glow of health” tend to enjoy wealth and prestige; those who become sick are burdened by poverty and debt or have made bad decisions that have jeopardized their status. Bodies that waste away, faint, or literally disappear off of the pages of America’s first fiction are resisting the conditions that ail them; as they plead for their right to exist, they draw attention to the injustice, apathy, and greed that afflict them.
