Book mail today influenced by @beyondthezero.bsky.social I’m intrigued by this Serena project and Katie Whittemore’s translations. Funny enough, I might not have picked this up if it wasn’t for the Atillas. @openletterbooks.bsky.social

“You turn to Lutz for the same reason you turn to certain strains of black metal: to revel in a single style exploded to its absolute, sense-fraying limits.” -Daniel Kolitz on Garielle Lutz’s BACKWARDNESS

No intro, no blurbs, no epigraphs. Your only paratexts: A title (Massive), an author (John Trefry), and a publisher, Inside the Castle. @incastellated.bsky.social Inside these covers you encounter the ragged edges of formal innovation.

During the pandemic, I played Lynch’s Weather Report for my kids. At first they were like: Ok, weird. Next, annoyed. Then, furious. Finally, my middle son sent me a video of him saying: “And if yooooooouuu can believe it…” Adding to the chorus. “Fix your hearts or die.” RIP David Lynch.
