RIP to a master, Alexander Kluge. A filmmaker and writer of singular mind and style. THE DEVIL'S BLINDSPOT, AIR RAID, and THE SNOWS OF VENICE, his collaboration with Ben Lerner, are gems. You can watch the event for their New York launch here: https://t.co/ycJGTIcTi5
@xlorentzen@cwik_greg Tried to get The Lime Twig reissued when I was at ND. Before my time, they had relaunched The Second Skin in 2005, with a preface by Jeffrey Eugenides, but maybe it didn't sell well enough for my pitch to be convincing.

Very sorry to hear of António Lobo Antunes’s passing. A genuine literary giant who refused to be silent about Portugal’s fascist and colonial history, and a novelist who pushed the boundaries of the form. Que descanse em paz.
"To read her work is to witness the entire American poetic tradition distilled and reconfigured in the hands of a devotee, moved by a never-quite-explicable love." @cementeriocc on Susan Howe
For @PoetryFound, I wrote about my beloved Susan Howe and how her writing and her voice have shaped my own private and public image of America and my invented English voice. Link below!
WaPo had one of the most considerate and considerable book reviews in the country. Grateful to have written for it and wish Becca Rothfeld, Jacob Brogan and the rest of its staff the best.
Before I cancel my subscription to the Post, which I took out to read Becca Rothfeld's column, I was lucky to write once for John Williams on one of our heroes, Lewis Lapham. https://t.co/3tg1t7novm
