Look upon me! I'll show you the life of the mind!

Haha love this. It was definitely confusing why the pigs wanted gold.

I thought it was fun and my kid dug it. Def bummed there weren’t axolotls. Did not pick up on the Paradise Lost parallels, though agree it is mostly empty.

Yeah, not even close to funny. "Tree Factories"

"TREE FACTORIES" = Trump "ordering" half of our national parks open for logging. Hilarious!

I'd go see it

This is great. Thanks for the rec.

Love the #inkstains posts--I'm so glad Markson is still on people's minds. (Discarded reminded me that I've got a couple of his Strand books, though nothing annotated)

I probably don't read enough 2025 MFA stories to say, but I notice that "big press" novels are SO full of exposition. I don't love a lot of interiority--I'd rather just see characters doing things and talking, but it is weird to think of a first person narrator narrating objectively.
