Allyson Rudolph

I own multiple bookshelves and no real drinking glasses. I like to read about writing and write about reading.

It Has Been Brought To My Attention

August 21, 2017August 21, 2017 Allyson RudolphPersonal

…that I have not update this blog in years. That observation is true. The website is still active, I am still Allyson Rudolph, and my résumé is up to date as of summer 2017. I intend to continue being Allyson Rudolph for the foreseeable future; […]

Put Your Trash Where It Belongs

February 12, 2013February 19, 2013 Allyson RudolphThings I'm Watching

I’ve been agnostic, skeptical even, about Girls. It’s a large club, and I’m in it for all the same reasons as everyone else. I find the characters insufferably selfish. I instinctively resist broad-brush depictions of something awfully close to my own experienced being. I really, […]

Life and Death and Demons

September 7, 2012 Allyson RudolphUncategorized

I just saw The Possessed. Let’s talk demon logic. Spoilers ahead. The demon in The Possessed is corporeal. It has a body. I do not understand how this works for a bunch of reasons, so I’m going to think about it much too hard. Cascading […]

Fixation: The Gun Club

May 30, 2012 Allyson RudolphFixations

NPR’s streaming the new Japandroids album, Celebration Rock. I am very into it. I’d be into it anyway, but I’m extra stoked on all the Gun Club love in this album. The third track has lyrics from “Jack on Fire,” and the fourth track is a […]

Dealbreaker: He Did What He Wanted

May 10, 2012May 10, 2012 Allyson RudolphPersonal, Writing of other varieties

Huge thanks to GOOD for putting my dealbreaker, He Did What He Wanted online. I will note for the record that the original title was “He Pooped in a River,” although I’m thrilled with the one we settled on. Here’s a bit: He just looked […]

Can I Dismantle the Military–Industrial Complex with Whimsy?

April 25, 2012 Allyson RudolphUncategorized

I don’t see why not, but I also don’t see how. I went to a talk about imagining peace in a time of war and it stuck with me. Either this guy or this one argued that if you’re interested in social justice and better-world building (as […]

Fixation: Yale Lecture Podcasts

April 7, 2012 Allyson RudolphFixations

From an email conversation with my new roommate, John Spain*: John: You don’t read on your phone on the train, do you? I’m trying to figure out whether instapaper or some such thing is worth looking into. Allyson: I have an eReader, so if I’m […]

Existentialism

March 7, 2012April 6, 2012 Allyson RudolphThings I'm Doing

I got to teach a course on existentialism for the amazing Brooklyn Brainery on Monday, and it was a blast. Here’s the handout I gave to people. (PDF: Existentialism.) It should be noted that I’m an amateur. My credentials are: Studied philosophy in undergrad from incredible teachers, […]

The “I Hate Reading” Facebook Page

August 17, 2011September 15, 2011 Allyson RudolphWriting of other varieties

I’ve seen a lot, the past few days, about the “I Hate Reading” Facebook page. The page is here; this Reddit thread brought it to the attention of the Internet at large; and Galleycat, Abe Books, and more Galleycat have blogged about it. So, granted, seeing […]

Digital First or Digital Extra?

August 9, 2011October 26, 2011 Allyson RudolphThings I'm Reading

I read this FutureBook post last week and it’s been making me go “hmmm” ever since. I’m taken with the notion that publishers ought to release e-books and paperback first, and then offer hardbacks as a premium option for the book-devoted. I loved that idea […]
