• From Shunned (2018)

  A tall guy with short red hair came out of the kitchen and stood next to Bill. “Linda, this is Ross, one of my new roommates.” Ross put his hand out to shake mine. His freckled face held laughing eyes and a sheepish grin. “I didn’t realize I was famous,” I said. “You must have received a briefing.” “You’re famous in these parts,” said Ross. “I’ve been looking forward to meeting you.” “Ross, can you give Linda a tour of the house while I find the perfect place for this beautiful gift?” said Bill. Even though it felt set up and Ross seemed overeager, I was amused by the attention and trusted Bill’s sense of people. To be polite, I agreed to wander through the house with Ross. In each of the rooms there were other people I knew, and we stopped to say hello and make introductions as needed. Those who knew Ross greeted him as Rossman. He had an easy, uncontrived way about him. He led the way to the unfinished basement. I admired his athletic build as he galloped down the wooden stairs, faded Levi’s hugging well-developed hamstrings. Standing at the foot of the stairs, I found myself in one cavernous room that followed the footprint of the entire house. In the middle of the room was a group of people standing around Bill, listening intently as he pointed to some overhead pipes. At one end of the room were a washer and dryer, and at the other was a wide strip of brown carpet set atop the cold gray floor, a waterbed at its center. “This is my room,” Ross said. “Please pardon the bareness. I know it’s not much, but it’s freedom,” he said. I could empathize. At the time, I was living with another pioneer in a one- bedroom house that we rented from a Witness family for one hundred dollars per month. It lacked a solid foundation, but the kitchen, bath, and woodstove were in good working order. It provided my first step toward independence from my parents’ home, and the low rent—offered exclusively to pioneers—was manageable on a part-time wage. Bill had finished discussing whatever intrigued the group about the pipes and electrical wiring, and we followed them all back up the stairs, spilling en masse into the yellow kitchen. Large boxes of fresh pizza were just arriving via delivery.

II. at Athens, from Plato’s time, a Sophist, i.e. one who gave lessons in grammar, rhetoric, politics, mathematics, for money, such as Prodicus, Gorgias, Protagoras, (τὴν σοφίαν τοὺς ἀργυρίου τῷ βουλομένῳ πωλοῦντας σοφιστὰς ἀποκαλοῦσιν Xen.

Many of the Sophists doubtless cared not for truth or morality, and merely professed to teach how to make the worse appear the better reason; but there seems no reason to hold that they were a special class, teaching special opinions ; even Socrates and Plato were sometimes styled Sophists, Aristid. 2. 249; and Philosophers generally are so called in a law of 307 B.C.; v.

Soph. 268 Ὁ ; γόητα καὶ σοφιστὴν ὀνομάζων Dem. 318. T. 3. in later times, the term σοφιστής returned into honour, being applied to the ῥήτορες, Professors of Rhetoric, and prose writers of the Empire, such as Philostratus and Libanius; it often appears as a title in Epitaphs, C.1. 373 ὃ (addend.), 397, 424, Epigr.

• From Martin Luther (2016)

  An early portrait of 1509 shows Spalatin with delectable curls, dressed in a simple gray gown with a black lining that combines academic reserve with courtly display. A woodcut from 1515 depicts a serious young man in sober garb, meditating on the Cross. But Spalatin was not a courtier by birth. His father was a tanner, and he came from Spalt, near Nuremberg. One of the “new men,” he had risen through education. He joined the court but knew that, as a commoner, he was not an aristocrat’s equal; there was also speculation that he may have been illegitimate. While he was a trusted servant and important advisor—and on occasion intimate enough to be present when the Elector did his toilet before dinner—he was not invited to join the table afterward. 8 Spalatin seems to have had a sure touch for negotiation and maneuver, a grasp of the possible, and a sense of realism that Luther lacked. Like Luther he was educated in Greek as well as Latin, and he became part of the humanist circles around Conrad Mutian and Nikolaus Marschalk at the University of Erfurt. He did not possess Luther’s abrasive self-confidence, and was a poor speaker. But the two men formed a hugely creative partnership. Spalatin bought books for the university library and supported university reforms that brought in biblical studies and those of the Church Fathers. Together they made a series of brilliant appointments, of whom Melanchthon was the star. Repeatedly Luther would recommend people to Spalatin, asking for small favors, or pensions from Friedrich, or seeking posts for them. Spalatin worked tirelessly in the service of the Elector, often late into the night; he nevertheless found time to translate Luther’s Latin works into German, and did so with a fine musical sense. 9 34. Lucas Cranach the Elder, Georg Spalatin Honoring the Cross, 1515. We have just Luther’s side of the friendship, because it is only his letters that have survived—carefully cataloged and reverentially annotated, often in Greek, by Spalatin. 10 As the sheer number of Luther’s letters indicates—more than four hundred—this was perhaps the central relationship in his life between 1518 and 1525: He wrote more letters to Spalatin than to anyone else, even though they saw each other regularly. To start with, their correspondence opened with the elaborate formulae of affection and regard that were the staple of humanist epistolary rhetoric, but increasingly Luther’s letters became less carefully written and dispensed with flattery, coming straight to the point.

• From Martin Luther (2016)

  A man with wide interests, fascinated by the world beyond Europe, he toyed with writing a book about the customs of the recently discovered West Indians and in 1518 he translated a work on the Sarmatians, an Iranian nomadic people, which he dedicated to Jakob Fugger. 13 Luther, on the other hand, with his mining background, was deeply opposed to the ethics of capitalism and the new kinds of economic practice, which the poor in particular blamed for their misery. He would have been familiar with Eck’s views, and the fact that he had seen the Fuggerhäuser with his own eyes when he debated there with Cajetan would have done little to endear Germany’s new economic masters to him. Last but not least, unlike Cajetan, Eck understood the importance of the printing press. From the very beginning of the debate with Luther, he exploited print to get his views across, and he knew how to keep the dispute alive by publishing new challenges. In late December 1518, after his first reply to Luther, he had a set of twelve theses printed in placard form in Augsburg. Unlike Karlstadt, he also grasped the importance of brevity. Ostensibly the theses were addressed to Karlstadt, but all of them aimed at key points of Luther’s theology. 14 Luther rose to the bait and replied to them himself. In any other man, the combination of aggression, ambition, and intellectual gifts would have ensured preferment to high church office, a bishopric or perhaps even a cardinal’s hat, and it may be that this was what Eck hoped for by taking on Luther. Indeed, he considered the key issue underlying the dispute to be obedience to the Pope. He would be awarded the title of “papal legate” in 1520, but the bishopric, if hoped for, never materialized, and Eck spent the rest of his life as a pastor and professor in Ingolstadt on a modest salary. He later wrote that all he had ever wanted in life was to “remain a schoolmaster.” But he preached assiduously in his parish; again like Luther, he was determined that his preaching should reach the common man, and he published five volumes of sermons in the vernacular because he thought priests were being driven to use Lutheran sermons for lack of anything serviceable from their own side. Eck’s parishioners found his sermons tough going, however: Intellectually challenging, they made no concessions. Like Luther, Eck translated the Bible, publishing in 1537 a German New Testament based on Hieronymus Emser’s text, translating the Old Testament himself.

• From Lit: A Memoir (2009)

  Do tree surgeons gape at great examples of tree surgery? Do line cooks get misty eyed seeing a well run café pump out orders? For me seeing this guy gives an almost sexual thrill—like a horny teenager faced with a centerfold. Or more like a devout altar girl seeing a saint. Please don’t, Warren finally says in a voice barely audible. He places an empty purple shell in the bowl between us. What? I say. Don’t introduce yourself, he says. Admit you’re thinking about it. It’s true that my former grad school professor Bob translates the guy at Berkeley, so we connect at some small nexus. Warren and I both pick at our mussels till I say, Why not? It’s something I can tell our grandkids about. I touched the hand that wrote those words. I don’t want to be here for it, Warren says. He raises a finger for the check. Behind his napkin, he says, You don’t have to meet every famous poet. In his view, my appetite for social activity is voracious. I remember seeing an invitation to his college reunion on the kitchen table that year. The choices were: I can attend. I hope I can attend. I cannot attend. He circled the words to read I hope I cannot attend before sending it back. You’re at Harvard every day, I say. You record Seamus Heaney lectures (Harvard’s own Nobel-anointed poet). He was your teacher, even. You host poetry readings twice a month. The Greek waiter drops off the check, and I rifle my briefcase as Warren goes over the math. He says, Seamus is plagued by toadies. I don’t want to be one of them. I snatch the check from his hand, saying, I’m the boring stiff in a suit who comes in late to the reading and nobody talks to at the reception. I live in a business gulag. He says, Nobody thinks of you as a wallflower, Mare . I glance over at the Polish luminary, adding, I just want to shake his hand. Warren looks as if he’d like to sink through the floor, so I say, Go ahead. I’ll meet you at the car. As he slips on his coat, I say, Not speaking to Seamus is not treating him like a normal person, you know. He pulls on his stocking cap with a grimace. Seconds later, I shake the great laureate’s hand, and it shames me to say I’m so desperate to enter the world in which he’s lord that I get a shock of electricity doing so. We’re driving home when Warren says, You’d sit in his lap if he’d let you. He’s eighty, I say. I just wanted to touch him and see if he was real. Cambridge can make history come alive to you with its parade of big-deal writers. At MIT, we see blind Borges right before he dies.

• From Lit: A Memoir (2009)

  Enrich the outer landscape. Why they hired me, I can’t fathom. Age twenty-two, I maybe lied that I had a degree, and I did boast in the interview about three community teaching jobs, two of which were fibs: I’d filled in for a pal working with seniors at the Jewish community center. There I’d befriended a stately holocaust survivor who showed me you could live like an intellectual whether you were in school or not. He loaned me a translation of Dante’s Inferno, which I left on a bus one drunken night, baldly lying it was stolen—what mugger says, Hand over the Dante! Walt and his wife also hooked me up running a weekly class for severely disturbed kids, but I couldn’t handle it. A few months in, I’d had to restrain a psychotic girl in my lap, making my body a living straitjacket, crossing her arms across her chest and wrapping my legs outside hers. Ten and bird-boned, she was. I never went back. My real teaching job involved a group home for fairly functional retarded women. Once per week after their factory piecework, I showed up with a canvas tote bag of poesie. Only a few could read a little; others just signed their names—the vast majority, not even. They spoke their poems while the staff and I wrote them out. At the end I’d read a handful, then type them all up to copy and pass out the next week. To say the women changed my life may be a stretch, but only just. I’d been worrying the bone of whether to go back to school for poetry. Or what? Sell kisses at the train depot? Some days all I did to be poetic was wander the public library in black clothes and muddy lipstick. Hell, I’d even moved to England for a spell, tramping around the hills looking at sheep and daffodils. How to go forward was otherwise foggy. Maybe the girls in my gym class had been right all along, and poetry was a trick on smart people—a bunch of hooey, fawned over by whining fops of the most stick-up-the-ass variety. The way an uncertain believer might stumble onto proof of God, the women at the group home fully converted me to the Church of Poetry. That first day I stood at the window of a dayroom looking down as the bus disgorged them. Shedding their coats and the clasped-on mittens that flapped from their coat sleeves, the women bumbled out. They dropped hats or pencils or keys or lunch boxes. One trying to find the end of her scarf turned around in a circle like a slow-motion cat chasing its tail. This halted the women behind her, a few of whom bumped into her and each other. As staff people herded them in, I felt my armpits grow damp. The faster ladies spilled into the room around me like kids lining up for a pony ride.

  Later that afternoon, when school let out and our class set off for physical education, she pulled him aside, waving the rest of us away. I slowed and looked over my shoulder, watching her kneel down and offer him a stick of gum while she rubbed his back. My respect for her grew exponentially in that moment, and so when some days later Ginny made an announcement to our class, I was conflicted. “Everyone,” she said, “I have some really good news.” Eyes shining, she clapped her hands to get our attention. “Something really wonderful has happened for me. I will be going on a date with Chuck, so I won’t be here next week. When I get back, I’ll tell you all about it.” I stared at her, mystified. Chuck was an old man. In the pictures I’d seen of him, he looked like he could pass for Ginny’s grandfather. It didn’t seem right. He belonged with the dead lady Betty everyone had been crying over, not my young, pretty teacher. A girl raised her hand. “Why are you going on a date with Chuck?” Ginny glanced around the room at our blank expressions. Her smile seemed to tuck itself into the corners of her mouth, disappearing. “Well, I was chosen. It’s a great honor.” This was a lie, like the lie that we were beautiful with bald heads. Her words fell like soap bubbles, shiny, bobbing and bursting into nothing. Ginny seemed as if she might say something else. Instead, she grabbed a piece of chalk and wrote the date on the board. She never returned to the school to tell us how the date went. Weeks later, she married the old man. I never saw Ginny again except in pictures. Through the years, her figure became husky and thick. At times when I saw the scowling, fleshy-faced woman she’d become, aged far beyond her years and grossly out of shape, sitting on a motorcycle and wearing dark sunglasses, or when I heard her on the Wire denigrating one person, threatening another, I’d forget that she was the same kind, youthful person who’d been adored at the school where she’d once taught. Chapter TwelveC hanging Partners I’d been living in Synanon six months when Theresa arrived for one of her irregular visits. She brought her new husband, Larry, and had made arrangements for the three of us to have an outing. The destination was San Francisco; our mode of transportation, a reserved Synanon car. I was given a dress for the occasion, black with flowers printed on the cotton material, the hem ruffled just above my knees. Theresa wore a drawstring blouse, wraparound skirt and brown, knee-high boots. A pale pink silk scarf covered her short hair. The ever-present hooped earrings dangled from her lobes. She tittered and fretted over me while she got me situated in the back seat.
