This is a new work by Benjamin Balint on Bruno Schulz! I bought it today at @mcnallyjackson for the architect @aalofsin but in truth I’m dying to read it myself! We have been waiting for it.

This is with great anticipation and joy to have in my hand a new work by Cesar Aira. He is a genius! It’s translated by Chris Andrews, who is one of the best.

This is having coffee with Laszlo Krasznahorkai in Venice 2021. Now this humble pacing wolf is a Nobel Laureate. A noble choice by Nobel. May cups be raised in his honor. Black coffee and his tender mischievous smile. Congratulations!!!!

This is two cover versions of The Divorce, by the brilliant Cesar Aira. This book is genius. Am very proud to have written the introduction. And the translation, by Chris Andrews, equally transporting. I give it several hundred stars.

This is the first coffee of the new year. The first book. Some celebratory debris and last nights lone sake poured from a sake small barrel sent from my friend Ace in Japan. So, good wishes for resilience and renewed resolve. The city streets are empty. I feel optimistic.
