don delillo’s falling man | textualities
https://miamibooks.wordpress.com/2007/05/30/don-delillos-falling-man
I finished this and i’d like to hear what you guys think. i was somewhat underwhelmed. it’s a good book, but it didn’t seem to me significantly different from the other books published so far on 9/11 on this side of the ocean(s). the themes it centers on seem to have already been explored by others: the haunting of memory (. The writing on the wall. The deterioration of memory (. Dysfunction in the nuclear family as metaphor for/locus of national dysfunction (. The zero, a disorder peculiar to the country.

not a particularly good reading stretch | textualities
https://miamibooks.wordpress.com/2007/07/15/not-a-particularly-good-reading-stretch
Not a particularly good reading stretch. And books we are reading. On mike’s suggestion i read david mitchell. A really exceptional book, all the more so if one thinks that it is a first novel. dazzling and original and whimsical and perfectly written. a joy. but then i fell into a bad reading spell, with book after book being a disappointment and me feeling restless and unhappy, as i do when i’m not reading a book that anchors my day in looking-forwarding-to-going-back-to-itness. The fault, if fault is ...

Categories: books we are reading. The yiddish policemen union. And i have some thoughts to unload.

Funnily...

Pain of the latter day. And books we are reading. Okay let me try. first i’ll explain my feelings about goodreads. i like goodreads. i love lists. i’m a list freak. there are some people who are like this. i am like this. it’s a visceral pleasure that cannot bear the burden of an explanation. it’s the way i am. But these are random personal thoughts. I just finished sherman alexie’s flight. Couldn’t be more commonplace, but, well, is there any other, really? It is a sign of alexie’s tremendous powe...
