I like experimental fiction, but not using quotation marks or line/paragraph/chapter breaks is just inconsiderate to the reader.

Tim Watley is starting Brief Interviews with Hideous Men
I quit. Just a bunch of psychoanalytical exposition with anonymous characters and no setting in a narrative voice that is depressingly similar to my own.

this was first published in 1968, and it's amazing how ultra-modern it is, yet incredibly outdated

Tim Watley is reading Either/Or, Part I
LOVE Kierkegaard—unusual blend of philosopher/poet.

This work, though, is a little heavy on the formalism: a pseudonymous narrator "finds" a collection of roughly edited writings in a drawer.

He constantly refers to dialectics, and often agrees with Hegel; but he bases his theories more on revelation than systematic analysis.

I'll be keeping an eye out for Part II.

on p. 356. pretty disappointed. even though Kierkegaard is a more poetic philosopher, fiction is just not his style. probably putting it back on the shelf when i get this Baudrillard i ordered.
