Rec | LETTERS TO EMMA BOWLCUT

🥊

I read this purely out of curiosity because I had no idea what Bill Callahan might want to say that he couldn't or wouldn't wrap up nicely in a song. It ended up being one of the most intriguing and fevery books I've ever come across and I'd recommend it to you even if you've never heard of his music or don't like it. Sparse, gaping distopyian epistolary novella. You need to fill in a lot of blanks but it's ultimately equally rewarding if you choose not to. It reads like a dream that you can't stop thinking about. And it's very short. Give it a shot.

A visit from the goon squad - jennifer egan

stories over time of a cast of characters loosely linked through the music industry In a post-modern style like not too dissimilar to vonnegut each chapter can be seen almost as a stand alone vignette edit: after re-reading your ask, I’ll admit not the weirdest book, but it’s also definitely not run of the mill narrative fiction. If you want weird, read Naked Lunch by William Burroughs. One of the most banned books of all time for a reason, grotesque, obscene, challenging, but imo definitely worth the read and I’ll be rereading it sometime. Helps to read along with a study guide to make sure you’re following what’s going on.

things have gotten worse since we last spoke by eric larocca

i read this book in early 2022. i saw it on tiktok. im admittedly not a huge reader, and books i do read seriously have to surprise me to keep me entertained. im the same with movies. i spent months trying to track down a physical copy of this book. tiktok would never reveal too much, it really just appeared in haul videos and the comments would talk about it like a secret club. i wanted in. i eventually gave up and read it on my phone. i wish i waited. things have gotten worse since we last spoke is hard to explain. its the most pathetic, entrancing, and unforeseen story i have ever read. i sincerely hope someone has read this and recommends me something even more insane because ive been chasing this high ever since i read it. the story is told over a length chatlogs shared between two women (more points for lesbians). i dont want to say much because half of the thrill of this book is discovering whats really behind those fucking emails but its a basically psychological thriller romance. dark psychological thriller romance with body horror elements but thats all im telling. my favorite sentence ever is in from book. what have you done today to deserve your eyes? i think about it once a day. its my bio for like everything. seriously, read this if your into the macabre. especially gay body horror stuff.

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

It’s about a guy finding a manuscript about a documentary that might not exist, about a house that shouldn’t exist, all wrapped in layers of footnotes, hidden messages, and pure existential dread. If you like books that mess with your head—literally and figuratively—read this.
