Illness as Literature: Substitute "Sudden-Onset Whooping-Death" for "a Man" or "the Men" and "Kaufman" for "K."

But the hands of a man were right at K.'s throat, while the another thrust the knife into his heart and turned it there twice.

With failing sight K. saw how the men drew near his face, leaning cheek-to-cheek to observe the verdict. 

"Like a dog!" he said. 

It seemed as though the shame was to outlive him.

Belle Lettre

Awww, hope you feel better.

Damn I'm such a flakey friend. I gotta get you a care package. I never did make you an Ultimate Belle mix-tape, fearing that you would judge my aesthetic choices, like putting some very obvious choices on (mainly because I've been too poor to buy new music for the last 2 years) and putting a song from Moondance rather than the much more beautiful Astral Weeks on.

But I gotta get over that. Will put something in the mail soon.

So typical -- The Weblog has of course already implemented this idea.

Six-word Stories. (Seven-word Titles? As If. Crap.) They wrote six words; no stories. Hemingway too, except with great success: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." Six words: a small story condensed. Evocative miniatures of tragedies. (To scale.) The hunter squeezes. His son falls. She jumped; he died there too. Cat toy on floor. She cries. Drunk driver, wrong lane: Mother screams. "Shoes? His feet are in Iraq." Spooning: "We should see other people." Dinner? Delicious. Now I feel vile. Feverish, he tosses; sweating, hours pass. Sheets soaked, throat parched: he stares. "I'm dead." (Will write more soon.)

n+1 vs. Lit-Bloggers; or, on with the Resipiscence, already (x-posted from the Valve) The lit-blogging community is positively apoplectic about the latest n+1. In “The Intellectual Situation,” you’ll recall, the editors write: The blogs salved this ennui and created nourishing microcommunities. Yet criticism as an art didn’t survive. People might have used their blogs to post the best they could think or say. They could have posted 5,000 word critiques of their favorite books and records. Some polymath might even have shown, online, how an acute and well-stocked sensibility responds to the streaming world in real time. But those things didn’t happen, at least not often enough. In practice, blogs reveal how much we are unwitting stenographers of hip talk and marketing speak, and how secondhand and often ugly our unconscious impulses still are. The need for speed encourages, as a willed style, the intemperate, the unconsidered, the undigested .... The language is supposed to mimic the way people speak on the street or the college quad, the phatic emotive growl and purr of exhibitionistic consumer satifsfaction—"The Divine Comedy is SOOO GOOOD!"—or displeasure—"I shit on Dante!” So man hands information on to man. The pace of the contemporary moment is ruinous. Who has time to develop an opinion anymore? We must choose between the obvious and la critique trouvé. The former wins little readership; the latter, a devoted following. Canny appreciation will win a blogger an audience—earn him entrance into the nourishing microcommunity of his choosing—but the quality of his thought will suffer. He will repeat himself repeating others and be praised for it. But it’s not like the editors of n+1 won’t begrudge such coteries the solace of companionship. As Keith Gessen writes in an email Mark Sarvas posted: It’s just a different model of magazine. As you say, Eliot’s Criterion, where he published The Waste Land, or something like Partisan Review (those guys published their own poetry!), are places where the editors had things they wanted to say that they believed no one else was saying. Irving Howe’s Dissent. Herzen’s Bell. Dwight Macdonald’s Politics. Sartre’s Les Temps Modernes. The other model is curatorial: you’re throwing a creative writing contest and whoever wins the contest gets published. That’s the New American Review or the Paris Review—or the thousand magazines associated with MFA programs. They’re both valid models, but obviously we’re working in the first one. Most of those—especially those publishing the work of the New York Intellectuals—are coterie work. When judging it, you take into account the intellectual environment that produced it. You look for the shared ideological, intellectual and personal assumptions of the group of people writing for a particular venue and you adjust your assessment accordingly. To rail against n+1 for treating a self-sustaining intellectual community as a single entity is a general complaint, one easily recognizable to you folk if I substitute “theorists” for “lit-bloggers.” You can, like Jodi, consider any such effort inherently dismissive, but much of what I’ve learned earning my Book of the Month Club degree says otherwise. The issue is always...
