Billions must read Steve Erickson

[Stephen Piccarella @spiccarella]

Reading Steve Erickson for the first time (Tours of the Black Clock, very good) and apparently I have a lot to catch up on because this is the single greatest premise for a novel I have ever heard:

Best way to read this awesome @MinorLits interview with Gustavo Faverón Patriau is to read it against yesterday’s GQ colloquy. Which literary discourse are you?

[Alvin Lu @alvinlu]

Makes me happy how Oyler’s use of “serious European” here still implies a certain cultural gravitas and contrast to “serious American”, which suggests someone a step or two removed from being the Unabomber.

Did not expect an extended Who’s on First gag in You Can See Everything. What an insane movie.

Proust’s grandmother giving him a sip of matcha which triggers no memory whatsoever

@oh_tuntun I’m sure there’s some posturing going on, but poseurs keep the lights on for a lot of good publishers. That’s a win for me.

[JM @amillionwindows]

@oh_tuntun Many aspire to read an 800 page experimental novel, few have the attention span to do so. Fewer still have the wherewithal to understand what they read.

@James_Martell_ one might even say Sad But True

[JM @amillionwindows]

Do I dedicate the remainder of the year to ATFF? Not sure I want to lug a volume of this to the office everyday.

[JM @amillionwindows]

Good day for books!

It's often the case that avant-garde literature sacrifices emotion for formal experimentation; not so in @IneluctableQuak's American Abductions (or Aphasia for that matter) which brim with the honesty of realism while bending the sentence past its conventional limitations

[Dan Brooks @DangerBrooks]

Reading is one of the best things you can do and costs like $20 for six hours, tops. In many cases it's free. The people who make it possible live in penury and the whole modern economy is organized against it.

[JM @amillionwindows]

Spending a few days entirely off my phone was great. Unfortunately my day job is essentially looking at social media 24/7, but that’s a problem for next week. Gonna see how long I can ride this out.

[Morris Collins @MorrisACollins]

This is terrible but it's also as good a time as any to remind folks that, spoeaking of great lists, Dzanc Books (a great press to support) is reissuing Women and Men in January and will certainly lose money on the venture. https://t.co/MepQDogHJX

In the land of @nate_knapp24 for the week. My cabin is next to a go kart church; this retreat may mark my return to religion.

[JM @amillionwindows]

@alvinlu @IneluctableQuak I mean the last page alone!

[JM @amillionwindows]

Sundays with @alvinlu.
