Retirement project

Abstract

This piece honors the work of Katie Stewart through the form of the “hundred.” Invoking Stewart's figure of attunement in the context of park cruising, I write about the relation of stories to forms of life from which one may be estranged in time. Against anthropology's magic—in which story emerges as something like a perfectible form—a fragment is offered, some context for words exchanged in a park, opening perhaps to another mode of narration.
