If you know of a publisher (or industry person) interested in a ~100k fictional novel following an insane freelance writer covering the Ukraine war, from the safety of America and an all-inclusive resort in Jamaica, with frequent stops in DC (center of power), the literary scene in New York (center of bullshit), as the Wartime Author tries to get a hold of his life, cover a war, find his ex-wife, locate the more famous writer he’s jealous of, all while being chased by spies and private investigators in a bawdy tomb of our times -
Please do get in touch.

I really hate it when people brag about how many books they’ve read in a year. That’s why I stopped counting after I got to seventy-five.

searching. Oh look, there is one!

Then the whale goes down,

Gerald Murnane deserves a Nobel Prize. lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v41/n07/…

Translators should be eligible for the Nobel Prize. Without them huge swathes of literature would be unavailable to us. Translators are writers too, minus the ego :)

I think people simply used to be more resilient readers: if they saw a word or allusion they didn’t understand they just brushed it off or trusted their gut instinct, & kept going. Whereas now they panic.

My book BACKWARDNESS is still orderable in the USA from Elizabeth Ellen’s SF/LD Books, but a Calamari Archive edition (comprising the full text of the original, supplemented with some new content) is now available worldwide on Amazon, as well as from Asterism.

Jon Fosse translating Gerald Murnane. A book I swore I dreamt up, but it’s real

Reading Vollmann is a great way to remind yourself that your own quiet, personal despair is actually very boring and un-researched compared to the despair of others.

Finally finished unpacking all my books and ordering them alphabetically… so now’s a perfect time to post photos! First up is my PhD shelf, containing all the authors I’m writing about + some important theory

I'm currently reading a 500+ page novel about an insomniac Uruguayan writer who sits in his apartment all day not writing his novel and it's brilliant. Most literary fiction has too much plot and ends up being corny as a result.
