I'm glad you enjoyed the post. @Rosalie: I wonder if all those brilliant talents would succumb to backbiting and envy, each trying to redefine things his way, in such a putative transhumanist future. I guess that's a dark thought, but grist. Anyway, go for it if you like the premise. I would make good scifi in your hands. :)Umberto Tosihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04939504157464234443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-90528639315180970252018-03-03T16:29:01.749+00:002018-03-03T16:29:01.749+00:00Very interesting to learn more about CQR - and how...Very interesting to learn more about CQR - and how wonderful that Elizabeth McKenzie is your senior editor. I loved 'The Portable Veblen' - one of my favourite novels of last year.<br /><br />Keep up the good work, all of you.<br /><br />Interesting speculation from you, too, about the possible 'transhumanist' future where everyone can write beautiful prose and poetry. This has really set me thinking. I comfort myself with the thought that each of us have stories only we can write!Rosalie Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10790708661647164052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-27382321735449580122018-03-03T09:00:28.442+00:002018-03-03T09:00:28.442+00:00I'm with the others - this is a lovely story o...I'm with the others - this is a lovely story of an enterprise that's surviving (and even thriving) despite the fact that it's driven by seemingly outmoded values.

I am proud to be a CQR contributor and this journal has led to great friendships and some lovely wordsworthy evenings. Kudos to the team of editors--including you and Syed and Gary and Elizabeth and John -- who keep this labour of love going for no reward at all. You have our deepest gratitude.Dipika Mukherjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17734481154069467025noreply@blogger.com
