News from Yoram

My friend Yoram Bauman (known for, among other things, his Ten Principles parody) has some news:

I only lost half my shirt on the stage-play version of Seize The Initiative! (a romantic comedy about democracy, climate action, and sandwiches) so now I’m looking to bet the other half on a movie adaptation. (Alternative title: Carbon Taxes: The Movie!)....Consider attending a table reading on T Dec 16 in person or on Zoom from 6-8pm MT (5-7pm PT, 8-10pm ET). Everyone is welcome to join (see the flyer here), please just sign up on this Google form. You can also read the latest version of the script at the world’s best URL: Yoram-Com.com.

Flier on RFK Jr

Dear Committee Members

2025-08-30 03:37:00


Like many who spend their lives in the ivory tower, I enjoy academic satires. That includes Richard Russo's novel Straight Man, the movie Wonder Boys, the TV show The Chair, and many books by David Lodge.

The most recent is Julie Schumacher's Dear Committee Members, written as a series of recommendation letters from an increasingly cantankerous creative writing professor. Highly recommended for those who like this genre. For me, it was a great way to end the summer, as I prepare for my first class on Tuesday.
