16.11.2024 07:02november 1–15, 2024Books I’ve been reading John Wyndham’s books since I noticed that New York Review Books reprinted Chocky; I read Day of the Triffids long, long ago, but I’d never read the others and I wondered if I was missing anything. I won’t say much because I don’t think these are really books for me. The […]

1.7.2024 10:13Comment on joseph cornell’s old house by dbvYou nailed it …GB - It’s a mess …This is part of the problem of having a great idea and not knowing how to present it narratively … that you’ve try in so many ways over so many years that you end up with all these ideas and other forms of writing that you just throw it all into the kitchen sink… or end up cobbling the entire Infrastructure together with safety pins and glue to support your treasured trove of an idea, which Hesse’s definitely has!— the glasbead game , which is a metaphor - I think- for thinking in relational terms or polar thinking… Polanyi, Frye, Sewell… Barfield - call it polarity, Giordano Bruno2) … The point is bringing unity out of opposites by showing relationships that resonating, I.e: The beautiful ideas in poetry … Maybe he finally just accepted the mess … I guess he thought it would be better to present a mess and than lose saying anything at all about such a great idea … that really no one Has presented fictionally ever that I know of… But He spends vast amounts of time as you point out trying to justify the presentation of the idea By juggling around with the narrative voice … in the meantime, destroying the unity, which is part of the idea of relational … polar thinking …to bring about a unity From opposites… And in the end, the messy effect is the opposite, which is ironic and sad… The Nobel Prize committee didn’t think so! Ha! the laugh is on the reader.
25.6.2024 01:28Comment on hermann hesse, “the glass bead game” by Tom CarterThis is the problem riding a book over 15 years when you start cobbling it together, justifying the narrator here and there getting lost in the labyrinth of all the important things you want to say follow them away thinking you’re gonna do a one way and figuring trying to justify the how to present the narration my God he must have thought people were stupid to think that they were going to be able to unify this in their mind or maybe he just didn’t care But you nailed his ass .

1.6.2024 01:02Comment on chorus & hero by Cameron BlandfordMy name is Douglas Breusch. Today (5/26/2024) I am 73. My Grandfather (August Breusch) and my Grandmother (Mildred Breusch) lived at 37-06 Utopia Parkway - next to Joseph Cornell. My Grandfather and my Grandmother lived on the second floor of the house. My Great Uncle (Frank Breusch) and his wife (Theresa Breusch) lived on the first floor - as they were using it as a 2 family house. My Grandfather's brother (my uncle Frank) married the sister of my Grandfather's wife. So August Breusch was the brother of Frank Breusch and Mildred Breusch was the sister of Theresa Breusch. The maiden name of Mildred and Theresa was Raaf. My father (Albert Breusch) would play checkers and chess at Joseph's house with Joseph's disabled brother Robert. My father was born in 1917 so he was 14 years younger than Joseph Cornell. My Grandfather was born in 1894 so he was 9 years older than Joseph Cornell. My father showed Joseph Cornell how to use a Miter Box so the edges of his shadow boxes would fit together. Joseph gave my father and mother one of his shadow boxes...but my brother and I were small and we were in a small house - they were afraid my brother or I would knock it on the floor and break it - so they gave it back to Joseph.

1.7.2022 03:07Comment on elif batuman, “either/or” by dbvYou're extremely naive if you can't undestand that Kosinki's last book was a sarcastic "fuck you" letter to all the mud-slingers (especially pro-communist cunts) who fabricated all sorts of nonsense about him. He was an extremely sharp and independent man who did not suffer fools gladly.
