One letter at a time. A blog about reading, writing, and the like. Tuesday, August 09, 2011. He's at it again. Nicholson Baker's latest revisits the bedroom. Baker's OCD style is an acquired taste, but not many other writers out there have an iota of his exuberant linguistic playfulness. Expectorated by Jason Comerford. At 8/09/2011 10:45:00 AM.

One letter at a time. A blog about reading, writing, and the like. Friday, February 04, 2011. Inside we are all monsters. I didn't know this, but evidently I'm predisposed towards monstrous luxury and decadent excess, as the main character of Joris-Karl Huysman's Against Nature.

One letter at a time: Coover notes
http://oneletteratatime.blogspot.com/2011/04/coover-notes.html
One letter at a time. A blog about reading, writing, and the like. Friday, April 01, 2011. Reading Robert Coover's Pricksongs and Descants. I am often made to feel as though I'm stuck in an elevator with someone who knows he's the smartest guy in the room - an elevator at a convention of smart guys. Coover's stories read like game pieces and improv exercises; extraordinarily accomplished as far as technique, but lacking in a certain I-don't-know-what. Heart? Expectorated by Jason Comerford.

I try in vain to escape the obsessions that are certainly real, permanent, and true, and that weave the final chain of events, the evident destination of my journey through the world.
