ken, if you get around to it, check out people's bookcases. almost everyone i know, even very well educated people, their fiction will be entire american and about as exotic as it gets is the brits or an occasional ancient frenchman or somebody like murakami who may as well be a brit. it's really sad. oh and if its not "literature" its like crazy true crime bullshit
american literature is the best

i didn't think all that much of no longer human, although i read it in a single sitting while sleep-deprived so i probably need to give it another shot.

KREON: The people, hemmed in by liberal playgrounds
and rightwing communication systems, are dead
or dying. No one’s complaining, mind you, but with the inauguration just hours away the sky seems to be crumbling, and the decibel level in some stadiums is below that of Mallarmé’s tomb.
God thought you should know.
i don't know the first thing about it, which is a nice change. time to hop in
then i became 25 years old, working for years in a dreary office, becoming shyer, losing my confidence, revelling in books & alcoholism and weird things like cultural production and so on, and the book hit me like a freight train and never stopped beating my ass. funny how books can do that heheh...
