Djuna Barnes<\/a> exhibition (via Paris Review<\/a><\/em>). * “I think I’m writing for somebody – like being the ghostwriter for someone who had a very different life from my life today.”<\/em> Eileen Myles<\/a> (see also, 3:AM<\/em>‘s review of Inferno<\/a><\/em>). * On Wallace Stevens<\/a>, the “magisterial aesthetician, the abstract reasoner, the obsessive formalist endlessly scrutinizing the gulf between language & reality”<\/em>. * Norman Lebrecht<\/a> on Stefan Zweig<\/strong>‘s suicide, 70 years on. * Ex-Hole’s Eric Erlandson<\/a> to release Kurt Cobain<\/strong> book. * China Mi \u00e9ville<\/strong> on apocalyptic London<\/a>. * A visit to the London Library<\/a>. * Will there ever be another Great American Novel<\/a>? * Yeats<\/strong> said, more or less, that we can’t articulate the truth, but we can embody it. I think that’s wrong or at least beside the point. What’s of interest for me is precisely how we try to articulate the truth, and what that says about us, and about “truth.”<\/em> David Shields<\/a>. * Harry Crews<\/a> is, was, & always will be a complete and utter badass.<\/em> * The lost world of Lawrence Durrell<\/a>. * Unearthed, the 1949 Great Gatsby<\/a><\/em> film. * Jos \u00e9 Saramago<\/a>‘s ‘lost’ novel published. * Longlist for this year’s best translated books<\/a>. * Slavoj Zizek & Frederic Jameson<\/a> disagree about The Wire<\/em>. * Will Self<\/a>, professor of contemporary thought at Brunel, on Owen Hatherley<\/a>. * The Festival of Dangerous Ideas<\/a>. * Jonathan Lethem<\/strong> & Steve Erickson<\/strong> on The Exegesis of Philip K.
