I feel like Vuong's rep is similar to Jorie Graham's in the early 2000s: both deemed pretentious, etc.

Reading Virginia Woolf's "Flush" (about Elizabeth Barrett Browning's cocker spaniel), and there are, weirdly, many strange points of similarity with Lady and the Tramp. Probably coincidence!

I am yet again begging us all to consider that gay men are men. There is no reason whatsoever to assume that any gay man has one iota of a closer relationship with femininity than any straight man.

Homossexuais possuem uma relação com a figura materna completamente diferente. São capazes de encontrar na mãe, seja a sua própria, a avó ou até uma artista, uma identificação que nenhum heterossexual experimentará. Nenhum hétero é capaz de venerar genuinamente uma mulher dessa maneira. A experiência do homem gay com a Virgem Maria é inigualável.

I like Ocean Vuong’s confidence. His speaking fee is probably insane. You’d be saying stuff too if they paid you that much.

After the final no there comes a yes
And on that yes the future world depends.
No was the night. Yes is this present sun.

Bob Dylan has written loads of funny lyrics but the funniest by far is “I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul” because he manifestly has no soul.

@molochofficial it reminds me of art studio critique fluff, it's hard really refute it because its soft and poetic. you just nod along

read the book love story was based on and it's pretty boring but one detail i liked was some tabloid threatening to publish pics of jfk jr at a gay bar and him being like 'yeah i have gay friends and go out w them sometimes, go for it'.........the confidence of a REAL pussygetter

Just got back from the hectic Good Friday Costco run. I never took the Kobayashi Maru test, until now. What do you think of my solution?

You either die in LA or live long enough to see yourself move to Orange County

@stalecooper I love that novel, so I guess I have to watch it no matter I am not a movie person except for Back to the Beach.

It’s weird how historicized, canonical figures in the arts are all flattened in the popular imagination as having lived in some strange, undifferentiated 19th century. Even the great modernists, who definitionally dwelled within a thoroughly industrialized technological paradigm, are all conceived of as some vague Victorian types who wrote by candlelight.

oddly have the urge to reread the savage detectives lately, like "i need to eat a good donut soon," i don't know why. been ages. unfortunately i told myself i need to read every novel from the 19th century this year first. but now that i'm thinking about it that seems impossible

@ViewsAndTravel Yes, for its scope and diversity of environments. No for the cost.

@BretVDB nah--get some really good sparkling wine and some topnotch sourdough

Real question: Do I buy the Franklin Library edition of Wallace Stevens’s Collected Poems at the bookstore I’m at? 😬

"Ocean Vuong Traces Bland Writing to Post-Civil War Newspapers"--I'm not sure what to make of that, but the internet is clearly healing.

@JoyceCarolOates Ooh, I enjoy this: not typical for me regarding De Kooning, so feeling delightfully surprised.
