I spend almost no time on this terrible little website (as opposed to other terrible website), but I have E-galleys of SCHOPENHAUER if any of you're interested in reviewing it! If so, don't reply here but instead email: nathanDOTknappATokstate.edu

I took a shower, ate some ramen, read a chapter of Syllogismes de l'Amertume, took a nap, and indeed: felt a little better!

My back hurts, I’ve got a sour taste in my mouth, I’m wearing mismatched socks and I need a shower and there’s snow on the ground and my feet are cold. Why yes, I think it is high time for me to pull old buddy Emil Cioran down from the shelf before I maim someone or myself!

This is a beautiful, melancholy and (or so it seems to me) Murnanian short novel. I enjoyed it immensely.

Heads up. Dear humans in and around Birmingham, Alabama, you are invited to tear up my house in the name of literature on the evening of Dec. 14th, celebrating @nateknapp.bsky.social and DAYBOOK. Dm for sordid logistics. 🖤

So I see there’s Adam Mars-Jones on Houellebecq in the new LRB. Practically guaranteed to be the most irritating book review of the year.

William Blake was born on this day in 1757. Obsessed with the color of the sun.

Not a bad hotel room, especially after I scrubbed the small amount of blood spatter on the bathroom wall.

Three books that I have devoured in recent times, all of which are of a dark nature. Different hues of darkness. All superb.  Thanks to @kirkdalebooks.bsky.social for the Blackwood heads-up. @influxpress.bsky.social @nateknapp.bsky.social #adamscovell #splicepress

"Daybook" by @nateknapp.bsky.social. Incantatory. More here: www.thisissplice.co.uk/fiction/dayb...

Something about the atmosphere here reminds me of when I first got to grad school. Was excited to be there but there also seemed to be a rigorous current of something it took me way too long to name.

We published two stunning novels earlier this year. First up was Nathan Knapp's "Daybook", "an absolutely one-of-a-kind book that held me rapt from the first word to the last" (Ben Loory). UK readers can get it with a couple of clicks, £10.99 plus postage, right here: www.paypal.com/instantcomme...
