Mike reminded me of the reason Ishbadiddle started way back when, so I thought I’d peep the shortest work of fiction I’ve had the pleasure to read recently: Antigone. The Sophocles (original) edition.
Call me uneducated, but I’d never read this one, though I worked in college on a production of the Anouilh version (and you know who you are).
It was really wonderful. Frankly, there’s not the time right now to expound at length, but it should be on everyone’s short list. It’s even got politics!
