wrote a short story for this anthology, to be honest half the excitement is having literally no idea what everyone else has written and being unable to wait to find out

ALLES WIRD REIN – ALL WILL BE CLEAN – is a sinister recurring trope in László Krasznahorkai’s fiction: tidy towns are typically fascist towns.

some thoughts on this year’s miles franklin. last time the abc used this format it was to discuss the new beyoncé album, just to give you a rough idea how exciting this shortlist is

during a period of decline the best elements of any medium tend to fade. back before ‘blog post’ was a punchline it was an avenue for some cool writing, just look at Kate Zambreno’s list (from Heroines) of the kind of stuff that existed circa 2010

in his magnum opus peep show david mitchell remarked, I’ve said too much, haven’t I? Damn. Damn these lips of mine, I guess witold must have sympathised cos everyone’s lips are cursed in this one. also it is about tennis and trent reznor should do the soundtrack

funny also cos dorothy’s marketing went pretty hard
24 Apr 2024
I have recently read a few books by “promising young voices” in Australian literature and these books are simply not fab. A good marketing strategy is no substitute for great work! Where is the pathos, the drama, the vision? Where is our generation’s Dorothy Porter??

Zach’s review of the new Donoso translation and phenomenon of the so-called ‘Latin American Boom’ at @The_Millions is lovely, well worth reading
23 Apr 2024
The greatest horror novel of all time returns! José Donoso's The Obscene Bird of Night is out today, in a new unabridged translation from @meganalimcd by @NewDirections.
This novel is one of my greatest reading experiences, and it could be yours too. Do yourself a favor, read!

Of all the Bernhard I’ve read, this one was far and away the best: tragic and vulnerable and just burns a hole through you
14 Apr 2024
Last week someone posted that they found solace in reading
Bernhard after the death of their mother
And I was reminded again about how much grief courses through his novels

Kristen Stewart crew assemble. Bit of a break for Katy O’Brian. Kicks off in the last quarter. If there’s an award for best use of yep as a reply in a film, give it to this one.

screwball comedy for the doom generation. squares, boomers, unlike GenX, care *too much* about folks not finding their freud & hannah arendt when they need it! (library book misshelving: it’s the pits.) honestly ADORABLE. Parker Posey: fashion icon/screwball heroine forever

my hot take is i don’t think anybody should be dating until their shit is together. eating healthy, working out regularly, having a morning routine, a spiritual practice, a therapist, financial discipline. things like that have to come first.

You wouldn’t steal a car, but you can steal 911 Lonely. I mean, you still have to read it, but we are giving you the piece! The paywall is down, the means of production are yours. It’s the existing conditions, Jim. The horizon keeps things possible.
