The fable-ization of Revolution is bringing to mind Vollmann as well (rather more tongue-in-cheek than Orwell). Dowell is starting to feel like a bit of a missing-link.

The foreword describing Tasmania, Ohio reminds me of DFWs descriptions of locations in Broom and IJ. I wonder if he was up on his Dowell...

Just had an "oh, I'm friends with that guy on goodreads" moment, when I went to peak at the Women and Men article in My Back Pages, and noticed the quote from Jeff Bursey on the back. Hi Jeff.

Would I have any idea what was going on in the BREATHER sections if I hadn't read the wikipedia article?

Planned on doing McElroy's Women and Men next, saw that Dzanc is releasing the third edition in "Fall 2017." Having shelled out for the first edition a few months back, I'm wondering now: Just how hard should I kick myself?

Marias is at his best when he takes a break from the plot to what's-the-nicer-word-for-pontificate? about trust and time. A book of essays from him would have me dancing on the ceiling.

There's some real wisdom in here, but I can't help but wonder how authentic many of these proverbs are.

If this is able to sustain the brilliance of the opening sections it could easily become an all-time favorite.

I know there are a few music fans out there. If you like Scott Walker, Arca, or Joe McPhee, you might be interested in my new album: https://alextedesco.bandcamp.com/
