This comment from Alison Bechdel, cartoonist and author of the highly acclaimed graphic memoir Fun Home (did I mention what a brilliant book that is?):
"One upside of blogging is that it’s a curious kind of anchor, a way of locating myself. Since I’ve been traveling so much, I barely know where I am when I wake up. But the blog is always right here where it always is–everywhere and nowhere."
Bechdel, who has been traveling extensively over the past year for her book, often posts photos and comments from the cities she visits, including notes about the folks who do the grunt work of author visits--the person who drives the visitor around town, that small group that buys her coffee or a beer following a reading.
It's an interesting idea, the everywhere/nowhere site, that node in cyberspace...and if I weren't totally saturated in historical stuff these days, I might have something intriguing to say about posthuman-ness and all that...
