I'm effing it up for The Democratic Five Girls' Brooklyn-Based Book and Garden Club. I just can't finish this book. He's like the Latin Hemingway meets Miller. No me gusta...
Maybe you can make me see it another way. For the most part, I can't get passed the macho vibe of it all. It gets tiresome after a few pages. However, he is a brilliant writer... Thanks for your kind words :)
I put it down the first time, and then picked it up a couple months later. Once you get passed the first 100 pages of part two it all makes sense and by the end its amazing! Finish it, you won't regret it! And then pick up 2666, incredible.
I'm an LA transplant now living in Manhattan. I used to take too many camera phone photos despite never having purchased an additional memory card. That was the main form of photo evidence for my "haciendo" and "viendo" until Kristen, an LA based friend I share the having of a knife tattoo behind my ear with, gave me her old Fujifilm camera, which has since DIED. Kristen is now removing her knife tattoo from behind her ear, while mine is still in tact, for better or for worse. The camera died on my first day in Lisbon. The last image it captured was a collection of traditional blue & white ceramic wares displayed in a storefront window. Whatever I was trying to photograph afterwards wasn't worth it. I write and produce film projects, have a dangerous predilection for vintage Robinson Golluber scarves and this blog serves as a window to everything else I do when I'm not satisfying those first two passions. I'm trying to blog more and tweet less @annabelleqv. What about you?
Porque? Me gustó mucho. It's a tough read, but after finishing I gotta say I miss the damn characters and the antics of the Visceral Realists.
ReplyDeleteGreat über-bookish rap video parody. Freaking brilliant.
