And they involved just as much wine, whining, and rare meat as you\u2019d hope: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/publishersweekly.com\/pw\/by-topic\/industry-news\/tip-sheet\/article\/70103-what-is-the-oulipo.html?twref\">Once everyone has entered and settled in, the President draws up the agenda, noting the names of those present and those excused (but only among the living Oulipians, the others are definitively excused \u2018for reason of death\u2019)<\/a>, including E and F who don\u2019t come very often. We help ourselves to pre-dinner drinks \u2026 The President signs Oulipians up for the \u2018Creation\u2019 section: the rule says that, if no one signs up for this section, the meeting is cancelled. In March 2016, we\u2019re up to the 665th meeting, and this has never happened \u2026 H and I, who are always late, arrive. J doesn\u2019t drink alcohol, K prefers root beer, everyone has a glass in hand. The meeting begins. L is the one presenting a creation. Tradition requires that we continually interrupt the presentation to complain about the presenter\u2019s never-ending sentences \u2026 N found new \u2018anticipatory plagiarists\u2019 (Oulipians before the creation of the Oulipo).\u201d<\/li>\n<li>A reminder\u2014courtesy of Jessa Crispin, who is, after fourteen years, shutting down her blog, Bookslut\u2014that literature in the U.S. is an over-professionalized, glad-handing extension of academia and corporate mass media, and the Internet hasn\u2019t helped: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vulture.com\/2016\/05\/rip-bookslut-2002-2016.html?mid=twitter-share-vulture\">It\u2019s just taking the print template and moving it online. I see the Millions used on book blurbs now. They\u2019re so professional, and I mean that as an insult. I didn\u2019t want to become a professional<\/a> \u2026 I just don\u2019t find American literature interesting. I find M.F.A. culture terrible. Everyone is super cheerful because they\u2019re trying to sell you something, and I find it really repulsive. There seems to be less and less underground. And what it\u2019s replaced by is this very professional, shiny, happy plastic version of literature \u2026 I don\u2019t feel like publishing is going to be terrible forever. Now I think fiction is more interesting internationally, but there are so many great nonfiction writers here.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Today in words versus numbers: words are fun, sure, and there\u2019s no doubting their power, but the fact is that <a href=\"http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/its-illegal-to-possess-or-distribute-this-huge-number-1774473790?utm_campaign=socialflow_io9_twitter&amp;utm_source=io9_twitter&amp;utm_medium=socialflow\">certain enormous prime numbers are so powerful they\u2019re actually illegal<\/a>, and I don\u2019t know if words can compete with that. \u201cIn the digital age, huge prime numbers are really,\u00a0really\u00a0important for encryption \u2026 So important, in fact, that having or sharing some of them could get you prosecuted under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which prohibits people from subverting copyright-prevention measures \u2026 \u00a0Software to copy DVDs started circulating soon after the DMCA passed, and movie studios sued\u00a0those distributing the software not long after that\u2014and won \u2026 The silliest part? Phil Carmody discovered a 1,401-digit prime number\u2014no, we\u2019re not going to post it\u2014that (with the right know-how) was executable as the very same illegal software\u2014hence, an illegal prime number.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Jacqueline Woodson remembers the day James Baldwin died, and what <em>Giovanni\u2019s Room <\/em>meant to her: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/culture\/2016\/04\/why-james-baldwin-still-matters\">Having become intrigued by everything he wrote, I moved on to finding pictures and films about him. I knew well the gapped-toothed smile sometimes veiled over by cigarette smoke<\/a>. I knew the eternal cigarette dangling almost absently between his fore and middle finger. I knew the head thrown back in laughter, the deeply furrowed brow, the rage behind the poetically nuanced answers he gave to deeply uninformed questions about race, economic class, sexuality. I believed I would one day meet him, that we would sit at a caf\u00e9 in France (a place I had not yet traveled to) and discuss the politics of queerness, art, our shared Blackness.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Good news: that erotic Brazilian theme park you designed in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 may soon be a reality. Bad news: you can\u2019t actually have sex there, because think about it\u2014really think about it. \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/05\/04\/world\/what-in-the-world\/brazil-erotic-theme-park.html?_r=0\">The investors behind ErotikaLand say the park will promote a healthy approach to sex<\/a>. Parkgoers will be able to tour a museum exploring the history of sexuality, and employees will promote condom use. The park will have a \u2018sex playground,\u2019 but it will feature a labyrinth, Ferris wheel and water slide. What the customers cannot have, the investors say, is any actual intercourse\u2014at least, not in the park.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In July 2009, the French mathematician Mich\u00e8le Audin began to attend the monthly meetings of Oulipo, everyone\u2019s favorite experimental collective.
