Frederick Daniel Hardy, Sorrowful News
I meant this website to be a cheerful place, filled with smiles and sunshine, and look what’s happened! Why, I wonder? Maybe it’s the crossword genre itself, which necessarily makes us cross and takes us down. As I’ve said before, I think the time is overdue for a radical reconceptualization of the form, one that ceases to valorize traditional numerical hierarchies (why should 2 always be greater than 1?), one that shatters the old boundaries imposed by binary grids of black squares and white squares, one that replaces the cross with the happy, the down with the up. I’m working on it.
