Side effect of having a cat is that it increases your camera roll’s capacity by 2000%

Definitely agree that Shadow Ticket in many ways is like a greatest hits of “Gravity’s Rainbow” and the other detective novels he’s written. Formally fantastic, as always, but it’s not treading any new ground

Disliking this book so much itched me, so I reread it. My more balanced take is the radio-play texture is gorgeous and the Milwaukee section is great (especially having grown up there for 7 years), but no ideas are really developed and the second half is a weak GR “Zone” rehash

Gonna get really into William T. Vollmann. Just so we are clear

If you have dedicated your life to words and books and literature and language, you have my respect and I will be collegial in all my relations and interactions with you. I think we owe each other that in this strange age, in which our trade, our passion, goes so against the tide

I personally think you can enjoy giant-postmodern novels AND 18th Century Literature. But that’s just me

[Learnèd English Dog @vortidel]

@Columned_ I've heard the narration is great for this one! If you liked Crying of Lot 49 you'll like this, I'm sure

[trafalgar d. laney ʢᴗ.ᴗʡᶻ @NimraenArt]

“one piece is mid” okay tell me what other media manages to cover dictatorship, racism, slavery, genocide, sexism, trauma, ptsd, oppression, tyranny, corrupted governments, revolution, all while showing that it’s important to keep chasing your dreams with your friends
