One of the best things about today is the class I'm teaching: "The Call of Cthulhu," The War of the Worlds" and Schelling's The Ages of the World.
The relentless suburban-ness of the Wells is very special. I like how my home town of Wimbledon gets torched. The only Wimbledon lit thrill that comes close is when it shows up in Blake's apocalyptic vision, Milton.
Which draft of the ages of the world?
