@cklein421 That's understandable! I recommend starting with The Inquisitor's Manual, which is a novel that appropriates the structure of the Benjy section from The Sound & The Fury, but each chapter has its own set of voices. After that, Fado Alexandrino is a fantastic work.

May the memory of António Lobo Antunes remain a blessing! One of my favorite artists passed today, but he has left behind a vast and generative legacy. Few students of Faulkner could modulate with such a pristine accuracy. His metaphors haunt each page with terrorizing throttle.

António Lobo Antunes is one of the greatest writers alive and working today! From the sheer leaps and bounds he takes to evolve Faulkner's styles, to his modulation of forms, there is no peer. Thanks to these great Porturguese translators, you can read him in English too.

@realMattKParker I wasn’t disagreeing with you. And I don’t have a full articulation on how it hit me because I’m not finished reading it yet. But I will at some point.

Finished. 😍😶‍🌫️🤯 I continue to believe that Murnane is not an author but a magician who conjures novels out of thin air. A fictional reflection on reflecting on fiction. The craft of writing and voice and narrative. The images that persist in a strange and wonderful mind.

Finished. 🤣👻📱 Disintegrating shacks. Paranormal investigations. Full contact badminton qua rare bird mecha-suit fighting clubs. The novel within the novel about the novel. And all unveiled through text messages, stylized to make that not cringe at all. Fucking brilliant.

@cklein421 Williard-becoming-animal via rat multiplicity, plugging into the rhizome, assembling a BwO, flirting with nomadology and the war machine. It's been a while since I last wrestled with this. What's your take on it so far?

Used bookstore speed run; quick notes, the Reed is overdue for me, Percival Everett talks about being jealous of Yamashita’s debut in the intro, and that’s a signed first of Love Medicine for a sawbuck!

@cklein421 All of the Emerald Blue and Velvet Waters stories are in the Collected Stories, so you can sort of reconstruct it from that…

Any reason we can’t get a reprint of Emerald Blue by Gerald Murnane? Is it too much to ask?
