Currently reading Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass by Bruno Schulz, translated by Celina Wieniewska. (1979 Penguin edition pictured. Originally published by Wydawnictwo Literackie in 1937.)

Just finished Divine Days! That was a wild ride. It was one of those books that “taught” me how to read it as it evaded narrative conventions for a more meta and conversational approach, interweaving stories about stories. The frenetic yet measured flow of the sentences is nonpareil!

Obama: So we have to extend to people during their period of mourning We can also at the same time say I disagree with the idea that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a mistake I can disagree with the suggestion that my wife or Justice Jackson does not have adequate brain processing power.
