24. Steintime I

Published: Aug. 7, 2020, midnight

b'In this first of two podcasts we augur into Gertrude Stein\'s essay "Composition as Explanation," originally delivering into human time in the winter of 1925-26 in England as a lecture and subsequently published as a text the following year. In this first approach we knock around various notions that seek to light the way toward some interpretation of what Stein means in her numerous time registers, though they admittedly remain elusive, which of course we love.This work is dedicated to Jonathan Oppenheim, the \\xa0American film and television editor and producer, who died in July 2020. Here\'s a link to the text: \\n\\nhttps://www.poetryfoundation.org/articles/69481/composition-as-explanation'
