An incredible review of AMERICAN ABDUCTIONS in NY Times By Gina Apostol “Reminds us surrealism also had a social ethos, to destabilize ruinous order through art. Similarly this is what AMERICAN ABDUCTIONS offers: the art-polemic as a defiant befitting medium for our dire times”

Hoping László Krasznahorkai wins the Nobel so I can post self-satisfied photos of my Laszlo collection AND be categorized as a “sad young man.”

I’ve been saying this for a while, even wrote a lecture about it — to which mostly non-USA people showed up — ha! — and I think Viet Thanh Nguyen summarizes it very well here. One day I will write about why aesthetically inclined USA writers seem to abhor this perspective.

Do novelists still learn how to write mostly by reading other novelists or are they reading mostly theory now?

contemporary literary fiction: 33% "i am a grad student from oberlin and this is my situationship with a professor" 33% "i am a novelist getting a divorce from another novelist" 33% "i am a member of [insert marginalized group] and this is my trauma dump" 1% actually good stuff

This is true when you have a manageable number of books (left) but once you accumulate more than 14 bookshelves worth of books (right) you need some organizing principle otherwise you spend way too long searching for what you’re looking for.

As someone who reads books I can tell you they do not want to be arranged neatly on shelves in fancy home libraries but heaped and piled everywhere. One almost wants to say that the forms of organization represented in some of these pics are at odds w/ the very principle of books

Anyone who has read ~100 novels can tell you in 5 minutes or less whether a novel is literature or for profit garbage

Hi, BookTok researcher here - TikTok readers have helped usher in some of the best post-post-modernist publishing sales years in recent memory. I know it doesn’t fit with social media moral panic narratives to attribute an increase in youth reading to social media but here we are
