I don’t really talk to anyone about music anymore. Thank god for YouTube where I can watch a dozen people’s expressions when they hear my new compulsion for the first time.

Just finished Greyhound by @joannapocock.bsky.social and find myself wishing there were a chapter on Reno. Perhaps it should be written as a fanfic interpolation. So many complex threads are tangled in this book, to be untangled (or not) by the reader.

Everyone had conspired to rob her of her youth, her happiness, and eventually her life; in place of those, everyone else had piled infinite pain on her, and probably they secretly enjoyed it. Dick, Philip K.1991. Valis. New York: Vintage Books

Subordinate clauses are your friends. It's best to drop the poison at the end, when the subject of the sentence has been buried in the drift and can no longer be refuted because it is impossible to decode. Kraus, Chris. 2004. Video Green. Los Angeles: Semiotext(e).

To set aside a place inside oneself to wait, you never know, to wait for a love, perhaps a love without a person attached to it yet, but for that and only that. I wanted to tell you you were what I had waited for. Duras, Marguerite. Trans. Barbara Bray. 1989. Emily L. New York: Pantheon Books.

@smwwriting.bsky.social I swear on my granny that I preordered your book which just now arrived through no fault of anyone’s but mine. Couldn’t get it directly in the US so I sent it to my most ADHD-riddled pal 😭 my brain makes great decisions.

A final dinner with Schattenfroh before mailing him back home. Someone came out from the kitchen to settle a bet they had going about what book I was reading. The sheer heft attracted curiosity ❤️ What well-read staff!

Just like my friend Paul! I miss the magical being of my youth. Decided to pack up Schattenfroh which is physically too big to cart around while walking. Read Big Swiss which is coincidentally set right here in Hudson.

So far Schattenfroh is dense, slow going, and @theuntranslated.bsky.social has made it even slower by providing many rabbit holes to scamper down with his very helpful guide for readers. Might have to ship the book home and read something else until I get back.

Following the river up. Lots of long grasses, reeds, pink flowers…passing by too quickly to photograph.
