PS. An "Op-Ed" by Jennifer Allen in NYTimes:
The Bones of Summer
I liked it, except for the moralistic ending. I suppose this does not say anything good about my literary taste...

paying $5 for NY Times??? sounds weird...
anyway, I mentioned that this probably does not say anything good about my literary taste ;-) but why *exactly* do you find it repulsive?

this probably does not say anything good about my literary taste - hey, you seem to like some of my poems, so not all is lost ;-) :-)))))
why *exactly* do you find it repulsive? - I guess the answer is "that's just how I feel". But to be totally boring:
1. it's about some random events that really don't have much connection or meaning, but she tries to present them as if they do.
2. it's kinda sadistic.
Re: The Bones of Summer
Date: 2005-08-21 04:52 pm (UTC)You should regret this regardless ;-)
> it's kinda sadistic.
I thought it's kinda sentimental... And it made me long for that life...
Anyway, as I commented elsewhere, it had sufficient synchronicity value.

with stupid junk in NY Times and other newspapers ;-)
it's just an unhealthy addiction: one is fed up, but still takes it, and takes it... even to the tune of paying $5 bucks for it, instead of enjoying the flight ;-)
> I thought you were going to do some math...
I am actually trying. I still have not told those New York people the title of my talk :-( Grrrrr...
OT: What do you think about Альтист Данилов?
Re: The Bones of Summer
Date: 2005-08-21 07:49 pm (UTC)even to the tune of paying $5 bucks for it, instead of enjoying the flight - now, I enjoyed the flight, too. But after being out of the country for some time I wanted to catch up on stuff. Actually, read a couple of interesting articles in the little magazine that came with it.
I still have not told those New York people the title of my talk - tell me when you figure it out, too.
What do you think about Альтист Данилов? - it's quite good. Apparently, he wrote it when his wife was in the hospital for a long time. He would bring her a chapter every day, or something like this. Has all their friends in it (I don't know how much he edited it later to make people less recognizable, or maybe he didn't care). Just don't read his other books, I tried, and it was quite a painful experience. Hope this helps :-)

2) "perhaps I should through away the ticket and stay in this city forever"
3) the NY Times piece starts with "a rusty-nailed railroad tie" (which is instrumental for breaking the bones), and Los Angeles was the last place I visited ;-) I also suffer from a strange sports trauma sustained about a month ago ;-)
