Fran Magazine: Issue #60
FINE we can talk about TCHAIKOVSKY FIVE
You’re reading Fran Magazine, a weekly blog that just happens to this week be about the situation in which a person may or may not have orgasmed at the LA Philharmonic which is not really any of my business, but my business is Tchaikovsky Five, so we’ll just talk about that instead. This issue is for paid subscribers, randomly, but paid subscribers receive approximately six more posts a month than free ones (whether that’s a perk I’ll leave up to you).
Middlemarch May!
Are you or a loved one participating Middlemarch May? I sure hope so. I have flunked out of every book club I’ve been in, so this feels, in part, like a risky shot in the dark, but I imagine it is going to be a great time to read Middlemarch alongside many of Fran Magazine’s greatest VIPs. Feel free to come say hi in the Middlemarch May introductions post, and expect — for the month of May only — an extra issue of Fran Magazine per week that will mostly be discussion-focused.
Middlemarch May is free to anyone which is why it appears here before the paywall. I am only about 50 pages into Middlemarch at the time of writing this issue, but expect that most Wednesday issues will have one or two observations of note. For now, I’ll leave you with the definition and image of “guimpe,” the first word I had to Google during my read.
guimpe (noun)
a high-necked blouse or undergarment worn showing beneath a low-necked dress.
