“Weird Nature removes science from its esteemed pedestal, not to dump in the garbage bin, but to place back among the rest of the riff-raff of human modes of understanding: art, religion, magic, metaphor, and, perhaps most importantly, wonder.”

There is never any death of fiction, prose, poetry, art, or beyond. The obituaries they write are always their own. Live más.

I'm kicking off a new substack which will focus on Gnostic Pulp, "the grand American literary tradition in which deep investigation into the nature of reality are mashed up against dime novel tropes." First essay is on PKD and Moby-Dick.

Bizarro Pynchon is already amongst us. He’s on X, he’s on BSky, he’s on Threads, he’s on Substack, he’s lying spread-eagled at the crossroad. He’s dispersed so finely we’ll never find him. He has no nexus. He is the mist. He is us.
