Knausgaard is an oddity. He is somehow capable of writing about his life unsparingly in the way most writers transpose and collage various aspects of themselves across multiple characters. Three down, three to go.

Nevermind, I've found it in settings - moderation - muted words and tags. Fantastic!

It's taken some time and patience (plus a few bucks), but I've finally got my hands on a UK hardcover of Hubert Selby Jr.'s Requiem for a Dream, completing my collection.

Here's a taster of my next Substack article, dropping Tuesday.
One of the nice side benefits of this blog is having a little play around with imagery once a fortnight, something I rarely do outside of work.

We watched Alps last night, one of Yorgos Lanthimos's early films. It's about this group that helps people in grief by assuming the role of their departed loved one. Weird, dark, hilarious—just like all his films.

Finished this yesterday. Wonderful, wonderful book. Currently reading Flame Into Being, Anthony Burgess’s book on Lawrence.

Had a fab day at Hay on Wye. Went on a bit of a spree, as you can see here (and this isn’t everything), before finishing with pizza at the Three Tuns. Won’t need to buy any books after this for a while 📖.

Reading this hefty fellow. Earthly Powers by Anthony Burgess. I’m around a hundred pages in and already love it.

I’ve been fascinated by the idea of the My Struggle book series by Karl Ove Knausgaard. Anytime people champion a work, fiction or otherwise, for its blistering honesty, I’m sold. It’s wonderful so far.

Henderson The Rain King by Saul Bellow. I’m officially obsessed with Mr. Bellow’s work. Love these late 70s paperbacks, too.
