Flying back home yesterday, reading the only book I bought, Sapiro's updated essay on separating the author from their work. Sapiro's most famous works deal with the morality and responsibility of authorship, focusing especially on French writers. www.instagram.com/p/DQU1Z6DCn4... #booksky

Because other books had priority, I'm only now getting to read RF Kuang's new book: Katabasis. www.instagram.com/p/DQE_IVRiiw...

“Are you Haitian?”

Bin entsetzt wie gut meine Freunde und Bekannten schreiben. Beispiel 7000: @comeonbaehr.bsky.social

For no particular reason (*cough* #nobelprizeineconomics) I recommend looking up (usually neo Marxist) critiques of Joseph Schumpeter's theory of imperialism.

Congratulations to László Krasznahorkai. A frequently great, sometimes excellent novelist who is absolutely deserving of the award. His most recent translated novel isn't his best but that's par for the course for Nobel winners. In his best writing he deals with fears and terrors embedded in history

I really deeply hope Christian Kracht doesn't win the #NobelPrize today. Not because he is a bad writer. Because what anglophone critics consider playful engagement with German history reads very different to Germans where he's become one of the new neo-Nazi Intelligentsia's favorite novelists.

Sometimes people have such appalling aesthetic opinions you feel like maybe you should stage an intervention. I mean of course taste is subjective but DEAR lord.

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

Books I bought on my holiday in France. Very happy about the Hebert in particular. www.instagram.com/share/p/BAgF...

For anyone talking about how the American right believes in honoring deaths: the memorial that marks the spot where Emmett Till's body was found had to be replaced with bulletproof steel, because white people kept shooting it. *Bulletproof* www.nytimes.com/2019/10/20/u...

Wer immer noch gerne die Geschichte von der progressiven jungen Generation erzählt - in den USA ist die junge Generation - die Männer!- absolut auf Trump Linie. Und auch in Deutschland sieht es nicht gut aus. Die Daten aus den USA:

Ich freue mich sehr darauf: Am 29.08. erscheint der neue Roman "Unter weitem Himmel" von Berit Glanz. www.piper.de/buecher/unte...

Talking to my therapist I found that I don't have any male friends I think. I think they are all female? Men are weird.

Have you ever wondered what Davey Von Bohlen, The Promise Ring (and Maritime) singer is doing now?

No one.

Abmahnungen wären für die Betroffenen wegen der erheblichen Anwaltskosten übrigens sehr teuer. Der Verlag nimmt in Kauf, dass jemand, der ein Meme macht, in richtige Schwierigkeiten gerät. Das ist eine neue Tendenz, die nicht nur in dem Fall zu beobachten ist. www.spiegel.de/kultur/liter...

In at least one case, Grok praised Adolf Hitler.

It's fascinating to see #booktok discover that the author of an obviously fascist adjacent SF series that I dnf'd after one mediocre chapter for that exact reason, was in fact inspired by Jordan Peterson and holds other unsavory views. You don't have to open a "author/work" debate. It's in the books

Note how the Washington Post shrugs about whether it’s a slur AND accepts Trump’s frame that bankers are unscrupulous. If Trump dropped an n-bomb the Washington Post would say “Trump Uses Term Viewed As Slur To Describe Black Criminal Class”

only "Jewish Democrats," though, with their constant whining and wheedling and schemes for global domination

Trump’s megabill will strip 14 million Americans of access to healthcare care. Here’s why our top story today is something a neo-Nazi sent us about a college application from 15 years ago.
