On Oppenheimer, Odours, and an Opiate Oeuvre (Ch. 12)
For starters, the newsletter this month is in perfect alignment with the recurrent celestial bodies - indeed, we've returned to our scheduled orbit! In other words, the May chapter of Ink-uilab will not be appearing in June.
On to more pressing matters - the alliterative title. Obviously, I must acknowledge - our ostentatiously orated title overflows with an opulence of 'O's, an orchestration undeniably not intended to obscure the objective of this original odditorium [for a demonstration of semantic somersaults, see Sir Humphrey Appleby obfuscating]. This month, Ink-uilab explores intellectual history, philosophy, and literature through the narratives of three fascinating characters. The theme of intoxication unites the enigmatic experiences of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the olfactory opus of Patrick Süskind, and the opium-imbued verses of Samuel Taylor Coleridge that punctuate this chapter.
