Replying to @nkulwYesterday I explained to someone that RTs originally involved writing RT and then pasting in the text and handle.- Writing on computers in the 1990s.
Some letters from the 1990s by David Foster Wallace have gone up for sale, and I've written about them. (Link in reply.) - The dominant literary style in America is now therapeutic careerism.
- 'And at only 160 pages, it's a perfect book for hitting your yearly reading goal!' Kill me now.
- Actually it's a huge book full of beautiful writing.Idk what to tell you people, Infinite Jest sucks and is the first black bird flying across the sky of the publishing industrial complex and the hellscape of the MFA. We wonder why people don’t read, particularly young dudes: look no further than the sweaty bandana.
- A personal history of the Hype Cycle in my lifetime. (Link in bio.) Please share your own.
- Being a Writer was Fun in the 1990s because you might be THE FUTURE OF AMERICAN FICTION.
- And people who set 'yearly reading goals'.Harper's Gooning article was a great read. Article touches on this, but does feel like Gooners are just one manifestation of our late internet alienation / tech-poisoned psychosis society. Relatives of Bored Ape bros, YA obsessives, adult Disney fans, celebrity stan accounts, etc
- I wrote a piece for 'Bookforum'.
- Wrote a piece in the new 'Granta'.
- Oh my fucking God, new Gary Indiana (fiction!) in Granta.
- The secondary dominant style in American literature is consumerism.CONTEMPORARY WOMEN Available Now minor-canon.com/collections/co…
