On Marcel Schwob’s The King in the Golden Mask
My review of the The King in the Golden Mask by Marcel Schwob (translated by Kit Schluter and published by Wakefield Press) has been published at Music & Literature. Enjoyed this fine little collection – the first complete English edition – so much I thought writing about it could be useful, to – as usual Read.

On ‘Two Memories’
My short piece Two Memories has been published in issue two of RIC Journal. Two memories which I hope it makes sense to pull together. Took some time to get the tenses right – or if not right then at least more correct. Memory, it seems to me, is experienced in the present, even when the Read.

On ‘Obsessions of the Lonely’
My experimental essay/reading of Zero K, Don DeLillo’s latest novel, is now up at 3:AM Magazine. Yeah, yeah – more fragmentary writing. It couldn’t be avoided, I promise (and more is on the way).

Recently, I heard that Novey had a novel forthcoming. I was on the lookout for a third subject Read.

On ‘I’
Review 31 has published my review of the excellent ‘I’ by Wolfgang Hilbig. I hope it’s implicit in the review, but to state it explicitly – I do like a book that arrives as a book; I’m curious about how much of this is the way it has been framed by Seagull Books in their edition, Read.
