ENCHANTED!...BUT I'M STILL GOING TO GRIPE ABOUT IT

 As I turn 64 today...

Rivka Galchen, The New Yorker, October 2023:

“…Enchantment! If disenchantment is the loss of myth and illusion in our lives, then what is the chant that calls those essentials back? An ongoing enchantment is at the heart of “Calvin and Hobbes.” It’s at the heart of “Don Quixote” and “Peter Pan,” too. These are stories about difficult and not infrequently destructive characters who are lost in their own worlds. At the same time, these characters embody most of what is good: the gifts of play, of the inner life, of imagining something other than what is there…”
