The Baron in the Trees
Italo CalvinoEnrique Ramirez"Tree Thinking," a great essay by @shannonmattern, made me think of @MerlinSheldrake's writings on mycorrhizal networks, and Italo Calvino's The Baron in the Trees (1957). (1/2) https://t.co/jGhymlLfjz

Doctor Faustus: The Life of the German Composer Adrian Leverkuhn as Told by a Friend
Thomas MannEnrique RamirezIt strikes me that the unifying link between Ulysses (1922) and Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain (1924) and Doctor Faustus (1947) is that all three feature interstellar flight beyond our solar system. #Ulysses100

Ulysses: Second Edition
James JoyceEnrique RamirezStarting out 2022 by reading the 1922 text of James Joyce’s Ulysses. This’ll be the fourth time I’ve read it. The first time was back in 1991. The last was in 2007. I am a different reader now, and so far, this book feels wildly different. More forthcoming! #Ulysses100

The Construction of the Tower of Babel
Juan BenetEnrique RamirezJuan Benet’s The Construction of the Tower of Babel is an audacious and inspiring act of formal analysis. It’s up there with Baxandall on the Forth Bridge and Mathias Énard’s 2010 novella about Michelangelo (Parle-leur de batailles, de rois et d'éléphants) https://t.co/B3OTWcuGZZ

The Last Samurai
Helen DeWittEnrique RamirezI just finished @helendewitt's The Last Samurai ... a wonderfully strange, delightfully irreverent, and very moving book. Read it! It made me think of the time my second grade teacher appeared at my parent's front door to give me a copy of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
