I just taught a lecture outside on this gloriously beautiful day. I was in a kind of park, beneath majestic oaks, next to a mansion that once belonged to a titan of industry but which now houses Coker's administration. I taught the Communist Manifesto and Cortázar's "The Continuity of Parks" in almost the exact setting of the story. It was one of the better classes I've ever taught, and the students totally dug it.
