wrote a short story for this anthology, to be honest half the excitement is having literally no idea what everyone else has written and being unable to wait to find out

ALLES WIRD REIN – ALL WILL BE CLEAN – is a sinister recurring trope in László Krasznahorkai’s fiction: tidy towns are typically fascist towns.

kathy acker was something else

during a period of decline the best elements of any medium tend to fade. back before ‘blog post’ was a punchline it was an avenue for some cool writing, just look at Kate Zambreno’s list (from Heroines) of the kind of stuff that existed circa 2010

@GraftonTanner getting the tissues ready as we speak

[Declan Fry @_DeclanFry]

‘this is what baked 💩 looks like’ ok grafton we are off to a good start

[Declan Fry @_DeclanFry]

@beneltham right? I remember poets at the time saying they wanted to ‘inhale’ this book, it was so good, they really wanted to swallow it, devour it, pour it through themselves and then vomit it up and do it again

[Declan Fry @_DeclanFry]

funny also cos dorothy’s marketing went pretty hard

[jj @jonnoxrevanche]

I have recently read a few books by “promising young voices” in Australian literature and these books are simply not fab. A good marketing strategy is no substitute for great work! Where is the pathos, the drama, the vision? Where is our generation’s Dorothy Porter??

[Declan Fry @_DeclanFry]

@jonnoxrevanche … truly

[Declan Fry @_DeclanFry]

@balmunlimited she is a bit of a genius

[Declan Fry @_DeclanFry]

Zach’s review of the new Donoso translation and phenomenon of the so-called ‘Latin American Boom’ at @The_Millions is lovely, well worth reading

[Zach Issenberg @ZIssenberg]

The greatest horror novel of all time returns! José Donoso's The Obscene Bird of Night is out today, in a new unabridged translation from @meganalimcd by @NewDirections.

This novel is one of my greatest reading experiences, and it could be yours too. Do yourself a favor, read!

[Declan Fry @_DeclanFry]

@honfordstar @paperback_books so far it is a bit great

[Declan Fry @_DeclanFry]

thank you @paperback_books for this @honfordstar hook up. esp since the new seoul park jelly massacre wasn’t even meant to be out until may
