From Round to Square (and back)

For The Emperor's Teacher, scroll down (↓) to "Topics." It's the management book that will rock the world (and break the vase, as you will see). Click or paste the following link for a recent profile of the project: http://magazine.beloit.edu/?story_id=240813&issue_id=240610

A new post appears every day at 12:05* (CDT). There's more, though. Take a look at the right-hand side of the page for over four years of material (2,000 posts and growing) from Seinfeld and country music to every single day of the Chinese lunar calendar...translated. Look here ↓ and explore a little. It will take you all the way down the page...from round to square (and back again).
*Occasionally I will leave a long post up for thirty-six hours, and post a shorter entry at noon the next day.

I don't know who you are, 
but I will find you...[1]

...and tell you that French literature is truly formidable, diverse, and (this is often not adequately understood) inclusive. Let's just take a look at the list of French Nobel Prize in Literature recipients.

Got that? From Sally Prudhomme to Jean-Paul Sartre (who turned it down) to Gao Xingjian, my French homeland is...home...to serious writers who change the world.

Oh, the Nobel Prize is "political" and an inadequate measure of literary skill? Yeah, I've heard it all before. Cry me a (Nobel) river. It's a measure, and France would rise to the top of any of them.

That's why "they" call me a proud French Bulldog Puppy.
