When considering William Gass's oeuvre, most folks don't immediately think of this book, Reading Rilke, but it's among my favorites -- and the Master's principles of #translation have been guiding lights as I wrestle through the years with my #Beowulf translation. #whg100

A thread of spectacular colorized photos from history, pt. 2

There's been a real run on my #trauma-theory book this past week. I suspect because it's a true interdisciplinary work -- drawing from #psychology (especially #neuropsychology) and #history -- operating outside the #literature lane as required. Whatever the reason, I'm grateful.

I finally found the great essay on the tattoo epidemic. And it goes from Nietzsche to Kafka to Rilke to Chesterfield to Kleist to Rohmer to Mary Shelley. What a book.

Happy US pub day, little book!
I love this one so much.
@Bookshop_Org still has it at a discount: https://t.co/dqdQ4tVehA
But as of today (!!!) it's available anywhere you like to get your books. From @NewDirections
If you read it, I hope you love it as much as I do ❤️❤️

🌻Today we celebrate the most amazing donation: an original woodblock for Morris's wallpaper 'Sunflower' of 1879, reuniting it with the design drawing in Morris's own hand, also held in our wonderful collection. To donate to our museum and work please visit the link in our bio.

Like you need another reason to read Valéry's Eupalinos (he says its an essay) or Bachelard's Space, but William Gass gives you them.

Norman Malcolm pursued philosophy at Cambridge where he befriended Ludwig Wittgenstein. He attended his 1939 lectures on the philosophical underpinnings of mathematics. Malcolm's memoir offers one of the most faithful depictions of Wittgenstein as a person, educator, and friend.

[William Morris Soc @WmMorrisSocUK]

Speaking in 1887, William Morris said "[The ideal society] is a society conscious of a wish to keep life simple, to forego some of the power over nature won by past ages in order to be more human and less mechanical and willing to sacrifice something to this end." #earthday

Yeah it’s great devouring books but I want a book that devours me and I feel strongly that I’ve come to the right place.

“Just stopped off on the way home to grab a few” means something different to me than other people

The proposals are coming in steadily for the collection of essays I'm editing & publishing this year to mark the William H. Gass centenary - see the CFP details here: https://t.co/bCzqj2KOA0

Max Sebald – the 22nd anniversary of his passing on this day...

[Ted Morrissey @t_morrissey]

Received the good news my paper for @LouisvilleConf has been accepted: "The William H. Gass Centenary: Looking backward, Looking forward." It will be an important kickoff for the Gass Centenary #whg100

[Martin Shaw @thebooksdesk]

The only book Sebald wrote in English, & the last published in his lifetime. And a bit overlooked too, I have the feeling…
