      A Year in Reading: Ayşe Papatya Bucak

      Dec 2, 2019

      I guess I believe reading generates empathy. I feel pretty sure it offers readers experiences they would not otherwise have. But does it change how we act? The post A Year in Reading: Ayşe Papatya Bucak appeared first on The Millions.

      Oh No

      Jul 1, 2018

      Because past the angel at the gate, oh can turn like that, go under, straight into poetry. Here’s the god’s honest: a moment of calm recently came to me, so close to sleep it was sleep. In my dream I saw a girl whose dark t-shirt read: All is Failure

      Sep 30, 2023

      Lydia Davis is a miniaturist with sizable intentions. Her micro-stories, many just a couple of lines, are constrained in length only; their subject matter might be anything that takes her interest, whether a builder up his ladder, a moment of marital

      A lovely read. It is just conversation between several people (named using descriptions - Woman of the World, Minor Poet, etc) but is very entertaining. It reminds me of a description of conversation by a boy in a D.E.Stevenson novel: "the talk went backwards and forwards as if they were throwing a ball.... He saw that they left things out; there was a lot left unsaid (things that they both understood without speech) and he saw that quite often they said the exact opposite of what they meant, not to mislead one another but just for fun.... Some day he would talk like that: quickly, missing things out, saying things he didn't mean and throwing the ball of talk backwards and forwards." This book is like that. Just conversation but interesting.
