just finished “the bare manuscript”. that was like something i’ve never read before.

i wonder if these short stories are mean to fit together into one cohesive lesson or if each one is trying to get at something new.

in this one it’s the depths a man goes to to rediscover his internal flame that is yet alive but lost due to his relationship. not a good approach to do that rediscovery, even though it works

"If the idea goes let it go, but if you can keep it, do so and it will surely life you up one day" - Douglas Brown (from "The Turpentine Still")

Wow I love that... sometimes things just stick with you forever and it's not until you lose everything around you that you realize your true purpose, your one way to change the world, is that thing that stuck by you forever.

“How do you do”… the way my jaw dropped…

“The Performance” started off really slow, as I started reading it a couple days ago it felt pretty dull. But after you get into the chaotic and adventurous life of Harold May, you’re teleported into his world of tap dance.

The suspense of who he was going to be performing for, the tension of when they’ll find out… just everything about this story is great
