This year for Lung Cancer Awareness Month #LCAM I’m going to summarize 30 important lung cancer trials over 30 days. These posts are directed at non-medical professionals, with descriptions of the results and of what makes a good trial. 1/8

If you're wondering where to start with Nobel Prize winner Anne Carson, I can't recommend this book enough! Four of her translations of Greek plays, each accompanied by an essay in her blazing and inimitable style!
Garth Nicholas retweeted
Took 3 days off and read 2 short books: Freud's Civilization and its Discontents, and Anne Carson's Bakkhai.
If you don't know Canadian poet/translator Carson then you need to. Start with Eros the Bittersweet, a book that makes you feel your hair is on fire, but in a good way.
Garth Nicholas retweeted
Finished rereading Eros the Bittersweet, by Anne Carson. Both times I've read it I've wanted to buy 50 copies to give to friends & strangers

An essay from Anne Carson, a tension between resistance & acceptance of a declining brain.
In another timeline she is as revered as Margaret Atwood or Alice Munro in the CanLit pantheon. Her first book, Eros the Bittersweet, is the ideal starting point.

Eleven years ago as a Twitter noob I posted a tweet thread about my Anne Carson enthusiasm. Reposting now for those who may be enticed by today’s Nobel Prize announcement.
