A lugubrious novel about a brooding misanthrope, published 27 years ago, deemed untranslatable (David M. Smith said “hold my beer”), and written by an alleged Norwegian “madman”? Sure, pile it on. This is my kind of thing!
Looking forward to Barrow Street's fall book launch this Saturday at Riffraff!

Actually, a lot of great books came out this year — some of which I read in the original in years past! Add Sorokin’s new novel and Carrère’s KOLKHOZ in English to the stack as well
Happy publication day to Philip Schaefer's Pagan Era (@BarrowStreetInc)

Peoples, I present my first unequivocal love poem in 30 years. Find out why I think Werner Herzog should be teleported into Wuthering Heights so he can tell Cathy that the moors outside are savage and meaningless, like her pianoforte playing. thediagram.com/26_3/berry.ht…

The first page of Thomas Bernhard’s YES reminds me of how closely Jen Craig has studied his style. Down to the italics of “alarmed and appalled”— the instability of meaning.

Congratulations to the 2026 Nobel Prize winner Anne Carson. The poet, translator, and essayist is now the second Canadian to win a Nobel Prize for Literature.

Director Werner Herzog on the set of "Stroszek," 1977, about an alcoholic street performer who moves from West Berlin to the American Midwest. Critic Vincent Canby said, "It's terrifically, spontaneously funny and, just as spontaneously, full of unexpected pathos."

Tarkovsky shaping Stalker in the silence behind the camera, time breathes, memory lingers, and the image slowly becomes fate.

GOAT
He went where no other improvising musician went. He didn’t do it for earthly riches or regard. He explored every dimension of the human heart 🫀 ♥️. Then he went to the stars. Prodigious skills dedicated to love. I am healed in my soul every time I hear him.

Today we join the world in celebrating the 100th birthday of one of the greatest musicians to ever live, the legendary jazz saxophonist and composer John Coltrane. There will never be another.
Happy birthday, maestro. 🕊️

100 years ago today, John Coltrane was born.
For 20 days, I’ve shared one essential Coltrane recording each day.
For the final one, something more personal: a family film edit set to my all-time favorite Coltrane piece: “Equinox”
