The Hoar was always ethereal. Its stories were written by a disparate bunch of students and academics, most of whom had never met each other, some of whom had scarcely met another living soul. Its corpus was stored digitally, on a server in Chicago. That corpus was distributed digitally, on the computer-mediated monoliths of Facebook and Twitter. Feedback, overwhelmingly, was received digitally: likes, retweets, shares.Impalpability served us well, but now - as we spool down the scribblers and drop our curtain - only palpability will satiate the Hoar's pomp and superciliousness.
