the most important literary quality might well be patience* *I tell myself through tears as hopes wither and dreams turn to dust

"It was one thing to kill an animal or even a plant for consumption—he had no ethical qualms about his role in the supply chain—but one had to retain that life, that energy, between the slaughterhouse and a diner’s stomach ..." Consistency — Joel Gordon minorliteratures.com/2025/02/25/c...

Solvej Balle! Anne Serre! They are so, so good. I wrote about On the Calculation of Volume for @theatlantic.com: www.theatlantic.com/books/archiv... And for @thepointmag.bsky.social I once wrote about some earlier works of Anne Serre’s translated into English: thepointmag.com/criticism/a-...

here's an old interview with the newly @thebookerprizes.bsky.social #InternationalBooker2025 nominated Anne Serre (translated by co-nominated Mark Hutchinson) ... “The importance of literature in my life? It is my life.” — An Interview with Anne Serre minorliteratures.com/2021/11/03/a...

delighted for Anne Serre and Mark Hutchinson

postcard from @wordkunst.bsky.social

« Le corps divin, retiré de sa propre chair, n'aura laissé qu'un os — que l'humanité ronge et les générations se repassent comme un problème irrésolu. Nous étions donc des vautours. Et seul un os (avec quoi on écrit peut-être) nous liait à ľabsence divine. » — @autreauxp.bsky.social

death to the careerists

« Nous aimons ce qui doit mourir et nous n'aimons que parce que nous nous sentons mortels et menacés. »

« ... les ombres de la mort sont les épices de l'amour et la vie éternelle serait l'école de la froideur absolue. » — Caraco

« Vous perdez votre temps [...] Personne n'y peut rien. C'est la nuit. Il répète: C'est la nuit. Vous savez pas ça, vous? Les toubibs connaissent pas ça. Moi: Je ne sais pas quoi, Monsieur ? Lui: Ce que c'est que la nuit obscure. »
