Just finishing up, it’s remarkably dense, but I don’t think I’ve found a work of theory as of late that is both incredibly graspable and topical, there’s some interesting thoughts about prose poetry and the role of literature in the 21st century I keep thinking about. it wears its Jameson influence on its sleeve but it’s worth picking up

Love his prose style, and his way of thinking. Feels very '2020s'.

This is inarguably the most difficult (and formally radical) book ever written and most people can’t make heads or tails of it but if you just start reading and don’t stop and let the words wash over you, its strange poetry starts to speak to you. Joyce invented a new language of neologisms and portmanteau words that were puns in multiple languages at once. He went as far with the English language as anyone can go and he attains heights of poetry, subtlety, and complexity that have never been surpassed. I’ve been reading it for 40 years and have only just scratched its surface but it has been an immensely rewarding experience.

so much to talk about, the sunglasses, the scarf, the fresh baguette and coffee, the always lovely cafe setting. I think this is the most swag ever captured on camera I aspire to be at this level
