Jared Pollen on Ryan Ruby's Context Collapse. As the audience gets further away, the text becomes more hermetic.

This is apparently comparable both to Wittgenstein’s Tractatus and Hofmannsthal’s Lord Chandos Letter. Which presumably means I won’t get around to reading it for a decade.

Louis Klee in the Sydney Review of Books on Clemens and Ford's Barron Field in New South Wales: The Poetics of Terra Nullius, a work of literary criticism that actually aims at something like criticism.

My friend Josh has rejoined substack, publishing essays and reflections on what he has been reading. He reads lots of great stuff and occasionally he reads my stuff.

Love this passage from Althusser's essay "Freud and Lacan", on what psychoanalysis could possibly be about

I've been reading Platonov's Chevengur, which came out this week from @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social. This passage, right at the start of chapter 6, I found particularly incredible.

The 6 best books I read this year: I read both The Plains and The Glass Bees in a fugue state, carried along by their authors' flawless prose and found Minor Detail and Love's Work extraordinary, two slim volumes of unique power. As for Exterminate all the Brutes and Ulysses? Classics for a reason.

This book really is as incredible as everyone has been saying

This by John Ganz seems correct: Israeli's propaganda machine failed to sell mass death to civilians at the expense of global reputation and internal unity.
