Wednesday, February 13, 2008 (Words in a New Yorker article)

A few words I learned (can I say the words were learned, if they’ll likely soon be forgotten?) or liked in The Birthday Party:

  • rapacious: excessively greedy and grasping; “a rapacious divorcee on the prowl”; “ravening creditors”.
  • heedless: characterized by careless unconcern.
  • acquisitive: eager to acquire and possess things especially material possessions or ideas; “an acquisitive mind”.
  • antithetical: sharply contrasted in character or purpose; “practices entirely antithetical to her professed beliefs”.
  • nadir: The lowest point.
