Not yet. But if it’s a certified smash hit, maybe one day.

Thanks Sif! 🥳

Interesting. Not sure if I should check it out … plausible deniability and all that.

Thanks!

Thanks Ceri! How are you???

It’s a collection of linked short stories. This is the first in the collection, one of my favorite pieces of writing ever. (Though I cannot vouch for the quality of this particular translation.)

Have you dipped into Cosmicomics yet? That book always felt to me like the most successful and nourishing of Calvino’s experiments.

Silksong added the one element I felt was missing from the original— a clear, long-term goal to achieve. The original had me feeling aimless for huge stretches, in spite of the fun of exploring. A perfect sequel.

Yes. I keep everything I write. One never knows when an old idea might be useful again.

An update, I just preordered it at the book store website, so its very easy to get, at least here in Germany :)

The last line should be, “This the Assassins guard…”

What I find interesting is that none of the writing here feels particularly strong or distinctive. I hadn’t found the particular tone of the writing yet.

Congrats to all who can decipher my handwriting. But it’s fun to look back at my rapidly evolving train of thought. So many amended lines and false starts.
