Guy Debord argued that modern life was increasingly being replaced by representations of itself. In 1994, he died by suicide. David Foster Wallace proposed sincerity as an escape from recursive irony. In 2008, he died by suicide. Mark Fisher wrote about the ghosts of futures that never arrived. In 2017, he died by suicide.

Now it is our turn to solve postmodernism.

That’s why one would prefer the Fagles translation which has been called cinematic & also reads fluidly. Not much point to classics lite.

one would think she would feel more kinship with a writer who is deeply interested in technical showmanship at the expense of poetry and feeling

[david c. porter (read NTTN) @toomuchistrue]

really says a lot about the state of american liberalism that one of its leading public "intellectuals" is not only completely unfamiliar with the work of one of europe's most prominent living novelists, but apparently takes it as a given that his audience won't be either
