Y hablando de cosas interesantes, La fuga publicó hace nada "La consagración de Aschenden", joya de orfebrería literaria del menos conocido de los posmodernos (o moderno decadente, como diría William H. Gass) americanos: Stanley Elkin. Libro pequeño para gozar con el brillo erótico del lenguaje.

think of a William H. Gass’ gem during my daily tuberide in the Wake: ‘It was like looking at a word until it melted’(p.18)—is there a better way to describe Wake’s thunderwords effect?

At long last have finished Omensetter’s Luck. Saw an interview with Gass and was disturbed to find that his speaking voice was like William H. Macy’s.

Respect to NYRB and Dalkey, “The Recognitions” should be printed on brownish thin paper, maintaining the original font and internal design, with an intro by William H Gass and a mint-green spine.

"I was turned down for ten years... My writing went nowhere. I guess you have to be persistent. Talent is just one element of the writing business. You also have to have a stubborn nature. That’s rarer even than the talent, I think. You have to be grimly determined." -William H. Gass

Anything by William H. Gass being considered a commercially viable Pocket Books title is further evidence, if more was needed, that the past was a very, very different place. (Picture stolen from Twitter)

there were some valuable blogs, dedicating all their passion and obsession to writers like William Gaddis or William H. Gass, whose work had never received such attention and focus back in the unplugged days-

Just finished William H Gass’ AMAZING ‘The Tunnel’. About 2/3 of the way through Percival Everett’s ‘James’ which is as impressive as you would expect from such a fine writer.

I keep a couple of books of essays on the desk to pick up on slow afternoons, right now the topmost one is FICTION AND THE FIGURES OF LIFE by William H. Gass. I've dipped into it off and on over the years and it's always a pleasure. I love this guy.
