In college, pretended to be a Stalinist to impress a coworker at the used bookstore I worked at part-time.

I wrote about Sebastian Castillo’s new book “Fresh, Green Life” for @clereviewbooks.bsky.social about one man’s quixotic journey to the end of the night. clereviewofbooks.com/vow-of-silen...
Vow of Silence: On Sebastian Castillo’s “Fresh, Green Life” - Cleveland Review of Books
Rife throughout the novel are men adrift: young men looking for role models to follow and old men at the end of their charade.

Started writing by hand and it was like the fetters were taken off. Mostly crap but that’s what revision is for

Everyone on the Paris metro is so quiet. Like a library in here.

Figured out how to connect to the bt speaker in paris so I don’t have to listen to muzak while looking at sacre coeur. Now I can listen to the gap band.

Going to Paris next week, currently reading Caesar’s Gallic War. Bad taste to bring it with me?

My failure with social media is I find replying to others to be a cloying, desperate venture. Whereas other people see it as making friends. If you compare the results “they” have a commanding lead.

Not hip to say but I have been reading through Thackeray and enjoying it thoroughly. In his time second to Dickens, today, largely unread beyond VF.

Happy Super Bowl Day…

Perfect time to read a super bowl short story featuring terrorism, Las Vegas eunuchs and a sport gambling oracle published in @alwayscrashing.bsky.social

THEODORE SOVINSKI / IF THE KNIFE OF GOD SHOULD BE FOUND DULL LET MY HAND BE HIS WHETSTONE — always crashing
As the booming voiceover welcomes its thrall, the camera pans and zooms slow in towards the lofty Coliseum spitting up in the valley ringed by sheer escarpments and Mormon sanctuaries tunneled therein...
