| I'd been thinking about it for a long time and finally decided to set up a small publishing house. And now, somewhere in the middle of that process, when the decision has already been made but the publishing house itself still exists mostly as filled ...more | |

I'd been kicking around this idea of starting a micro press for a little while when I spied this book at the store -- a little stack left for me by fate with this book and The Clothing of Books. I could" Read more of this review » |

One of the things that fascinates me most about Flannery O’Connor is the way she dismantles not people, but the stories they tell themselves about who they are. In The Enduring Chill, Asbury returns from New York to his mother’s farm convinced that he ...more |

| Every year and a half or so, I read something by Viktor Pelevin — sometimes a new book, sometimes one that is twenty years old. This time it was The Invincible Sun, a novel from the pandemic years. For what may be the first time, Pelevin chose to tel ...more | |

| Jerusalem by Gonçalo M. Tavares unfolds like a night that gradually draws several lives into itself. Some characters move through an unnamed city; others remain locked inside a hospital, a house, a memory, or their own obsession. Each carries a burde ...more | |

| The story, at least its first half, is almost comic. O’Connor is mercilessly funny here. Hulga, with her ostentatious nihilism and her doctorate in philosophy, is herself slightly cartoonish. She wants to be a tragic intellectual, yet she lives with ...more | |

Rebecca Kuang's Babel left me with a strange impression. I loved the idea behind it. I loved the world. I loved Babel itself. But the protagonist never quite became a living person for me. Kuang came up with a fascinating linguistic magic system. Here ...more |

| O'Connor was a Catholic with a very dark view of grace. In her work, grace doesn't arrive through virtue. It comes through shock, through extremity, through an encounter with death. And A Good Man Is Hard to Find is probably one of the most interesti ...more | |

of
Таинства и обыкновения. Проза по случаю (Russian Edition):
"Сильнейшая книга для всех, кто пишет или работает с текстом. Что делает текст крутым, как взаимодействовать с читателями и аудиторией, как быть писателем, которого будут читать и через 10, и через 100 лет, и так далее…
А ещё Фланнери О’Коннор пишет та" Read more of this review » |

“Our homeland in the language we spoke, thought, and wrote in, not the place where we were born. We live in the space of our language, and to expand it, it's not enough to just leave; we need to start thinking in other languages.”
― Clochard
― Clochard
“We are all connected by the finest of threads. We create worlds for each other through our existence. When someone close to you dies, it immediately affects everything around you; and everyone’s lives, whether they feel it or not, are changed forever.”
― Clochard
― Clochard
“Long ago, we had both realized that the only constructive conversation possible between us was sex. Neither of us could hear normal words. We each spoke our minds and listened only to ourselves. Only during sex did we share sensations and truly be present together. How long could that last? Probably forever. Would we have been happy for eternity? Why not? Sex wasn’t about interests or cultural differences; it was self-sufficient.”
― Clochard
― Clochard
“Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really...How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.”
― The Sheltering Sky

“My message to you is this: pretend that you have free will. It's essential that you behave as if your decisions matter, even though you know they don't. The reality isn't important: what's important is your belief, and believing the lie is the only way to avoid a waking coma. Civilization now depends on self-deception. Perhaps it always has.”
