Vollmann’s The Ice Shirt has been a little bit of a challenge but atleast it maintains a sense of humor

Took a chance and ordered a Vollmann book off of Amazon only for it to be a shitty print on demand version. Hate it here

Definitely agree that Shadow Ticket in many ways is like a greatest hits of “Gravity’s Rainbow” and the other detective novels he’s written. Formally fantastic, as always, but it’s not treading any new ground
Disliking this book so much itched me, so I reread it. My more balanced take is the radio-play texture is gorgeous and the Milwaukee section is great (especially having grown up there for 7 years), but no ideas are really developed and the second half is a weak GR “Zone” rehash

Gonna get really into William T. Vollmann. Just so we are clear

Martin Scorsese is now a partner and advisor for a generative AI startup
He says he's using AI during preproduction to help storyboard projects
“I’m interested in the intersection of technology and storytelling, and seeing how that can push the bounds of creativity to create deeper and richer experiences for audiences ... cinema is a young medium ... we have to be open to how it can evolve"

If you have dedicated your life to words and books and literature and language, you have my respect and I will be collegial in all my relations and interactions with you. I think we owe each other that in this strange age, in which our trade, our passion, goes so against the tide

We are coming up on the one year anniversary of my reading Infinite Jest for the first time. I feel myself getting a little excited all over again.

I personally think you can enjoy giant-postmodern novels AND 18th Century Literature. But that’s just me

“one piece is mid” okay tell me what other media manages to cover dictatorship, racism, slavery, genocide, sexism, trauma, ptsd, oppression, tyranny, corrupted governments, revolution, all while showing that it’s important to keep chasing your dreams with your friends

I am delighted and more honored than I can possibly say - the Emergent Ventures program at the Mercatus Center has offered me a grant of $175,000 with no requirements of any kind in the way of publicity, attendance at meetings, or anything else.
