Just #finished & enjoyed Lara Mimosa Montes’s The Time of the Novel (Wendy’s Subway 2025). What if Alice was a bookworld precariat and Wonderland was given a Kmart realist remodel. “It was like the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog and never stopped.”

Just #finished Mark McMorris’s Entrepôt. Seductive, erudite, often sinister sequences of long-lined, mid-length pomes. Held together by 17 epistles. First-order postcolonial gothic lit—fantasy-tinged. From Coffee House Press, 2010.

Motorists, who cause (literally) 99% of pedestrian fatalities in NYC, get off with warnings. Meanwhile cyclists are slapped with criminal summonses and get their infrastructure yanked. Adams continues to amaze!
"Sources told the Daily News the driver was charged for a hit-and-run in April — when she had been driving without a valid license, the paper said. The judge in the case released her, pending trial — a trial that didn't happen before the weekend tragedy."

Just #finished Robert Glück’s ABOUT ED after taking a semilong break between its first and second books. Moved me very much—left me with so much to think about—but I am especially left with several passages about the afterlife of objects in “Ed’s Things” / the white Pyrex cup on Bob’s nightstand

“And the advancement of that movement—for socialism, for freedom, for social peace, for the unity of the multiethnic working class—is how we end the 9/11 Era. Not shallow declarations by Security State-allegiant politicians…. By organizing and outcompeting them.”
"it is crucial to observe who played 9/11 Politics against Zohran. Who made a deliberate point of trying to make Jews like me hate and fear Zohran. It was DoorDash, Bloomberg, Ackman, Karp, and the rest. It was capital." www.forever-wars.com/this-is-the-...
This Is The Beginning of The End of The 9/11 Era
Capital and nativism will fight even harder against Zohran Mamdani now. But in capital's seat of power, socialism defeated barbarism. I fucking love New York

The fuck is this? “Best overall pick for mayor”? The Times used to do the serious thing and endorse a candidate. Now they’re stooping to “Wirecutter but for politics.”

So low this week grappling with the death of my former prof. Cole Heinowitz. Cole fully reoriented me at 19 by modeling a contemporary life of reading & writing among poets I hadn’t known was possible. I was sure I’d see her at Pete’s Candy Store this summer. My teacher—I needed you still 💔
