Pushed out of the path of a runaway 10-ft cheese wheel by your future beloved... Now that’s what I call a Meet-Cute!

I'm often skeptical of this type of writing, but when Oshry dropped the reference to Barth's "Night-Sea Journey," I felt seen.

Thus far the best Vollmann I've read (YBARA, Europe Central, The Royal Family). My first Dream.

My copy of the new edition of J R came today. Yesterday the new Autechre LP arrived. Same color palette. Feels right.

Closing in. Had a dream last night about reading JR. Still a week or so out.

I once thought Coover was too cynical, too satirical. But that second intermezzo had a hell of a lot of heart. I need that balance in my reading life. There may very well be more Coover in my future.

Working much better for me this time around. I’ve been surprised by how much it reminds me of Burroughs (though I like this far more than Burroughs). I suspect I’ll make it through on this go.

Somehow I had assumed this would be a Jane Austen-type thing, but man is it bleak.
