There's an implication of progress and absolutism here, which I'm not keen on. The novel is dead if you interpret it as so. I do not. This is the problem of the avant-garde.

WOW! This late Roman blue glass cup made an epic 12,000 km journey! Made in the eastern Mediterranean, it was excavated from the Cheonmachong Tomb, a royal tomb of the ancient Silla Kingdom in Korea! 🤯 Early AD 500s. Gyeongju National Museum, South Korea. 📷 by me

In Japanese, "tsundoku" means collecting books and letting them pile up, not for neglect, but for the joy of knowing they're there, full of untold stories.

Much enjoyed Atherstrophen (a collection of poems by Emmy Hennings - an early Dadaist - skilfully translated from German by David Annwn and
gobygoodby.bsky.social
). The collages and lanterns created by John Goodby are also excellent. A lovely object of art from @zimzallapress. Highly recommended.
