Two texts are now sitting on my desk. They are still and inert — like rectangular paperweights. I would like to activate them, to mingle their pages. I would like to set them, if only momentarily, into motion. * The first text in front of me is a little gem of a book: Paul Scheerbart’s The Perpetual Motion [...]

Davies about movies, new and old, both popular and obscure. It will be called “A D & Jeremy Talk about Movies” (unless we can think of a better title). [...]

Unfinished is now available from Jaded Ibis Press. Lily Hoang–author of three novels, including the PEN award-winning Changing–invited her favorite writers to send her their scraps. She finished their unfinishables, even offering them to edit and revise what she produced. Some did, some didn’t. This collaborative enterprise is endlessly fascinating because one doesn’t know where [...]

art and self-restraint: the work of david shrigley

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged art, David Shrigley, drawing, Glasgow, Lily Hoang, Matthew Simmons, Minimalism, self-restraint on January 8, 2011 | 3 Comments »

I laughed a little when I found this drawing on the website for David Shrigley, a Glasgow-based artist. There’s not much to it, but for some reason it’s funny. Also a little unsettling. I realized I was laughing not so much because it’s comedic (though it might be) but because it’s absurd. There’s hardly anything [...]

A few months ago, in April, to be exact, I started a series of posts entitled “A Sentence About a Sentence I Love” with a sentence about one of Gerard Manley Hopkins’s magnificent sentences. This concentration, or, rather, this obsession with the sentence may have come from my, at the time, recent readings of William [...]

With sites (especially blogs, I’d imagine) coming and going, resembling fairweathered friends with their weighty promises and concomitant lack of follow-through, and with evanescence and disposability, perhaps, being two of the internet’s primary characteristics, an internet year must be to an in-real-life year as what a dog year is to a human year. But it’s [...]

Elegy to a Bookstore?

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Lily Hoang, Strand Book Store, Subterranean Books, This Ain’t Rosedale Library on June 24, 2010 | 10 Comments »

Bookstores are still one of my favorite places to hang, and whenever I travel I invariably seek one to roam around in. Recently, when I was in St. Louis I happened upon Subterranean Books, which boasts a gold star (part of a Walk of Fame) for Stanley Elkin on its sidewalk. Here in NYC my [...]

Eliot’s Nocturnal Hackery (or, Moriarty in a Catsuit)

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged "The Final Problem", Captain John Smith, Lily Hoang, Macavity, Moriarty, Old Possum, opossum, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, T.S. Eliot on December 10, 2009 | 12 Comments »

Lily’s appropriation thread reminded me of something that I had been reminded of only yesterday (but had since already forgotten). Have you heard of the poet named T.S. Eliot? He apparently wrote a poem about a cat (of all things), and it contained some appropriation: Macavity, Macavity, there’s no one like Macacity, There never was [...]

When Lily Hoang told me that she was working on a choose your own adventure novel, I immediately thought of the Choose Your Own Adventure series of children’s books originally published by Bantam Books from 1979-1998. I remember coming home from the library when I was a kid with piles of those books in my [...]
