		<title>Chad M. Irwin&#8217;s Patchwork Junk Drawer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day I was at a friend’s house. He was looking for a corkscrew and couldn’t find it.

		<title>How to Read Like a Child</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ben Cumming, scholar and writer, lectures on the value of simply enjoying literature. Never disagreeing that there can be gain from critical analysis, he, nevertheless, concludes that not all stories require such a scientific approach and that substantial value is lost if delight is set aside in favor of criticism.

		<title>What, then, is Beauty?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Beauty is passé. It is kitsch. It is to be avoided. So say the modernist artist and the postmodernist philosopher. Take Gilles Deleuze who says of beauty that it is irrelevant and in actuality a lie—an obfuscation of the univocity of the supreme truth of chaos, or as Jacob Rogozinski writes the “supreme order” found [...]]]></description>
