GENIUS!  It’s All Around Us,

And In This Week’s Editions

Coincidentally, two "geniuses" – winners of the $1 million MacArthur Fellowships, dubbed the "genius awards" – appear in this week's newspapers. In an item on page A1 of Hometown Oneonta, it's noted that fiction writer George Saunders, author of the hailed short-story collection, "The Tenth of December" – he lives "somewhere in the Oneonta vicinity" – is publishing his first novel in the next few months. On page B1, the AllOTSEGO.life front, "genius" sculptor Martin Puryear of Washington D.C., has contracted with Unalam to fabricate his next huge creation, "Big Bling," which will be erected in Manhattan next month. Not all of us can be geniuses, but the amount of accomplish in this week's editions is pretty astonishing.
