Good early evening everyone, how do?
Editing the next Patron-Only review as fast as I can here, should be coming tomorrow, and a hell of a book it is...
Black Sun: The Brief Transit and Violent Eclipse of Harry Crosby by Geoffrey Wolff (Paid link).
Spoiler: It is downright outstanding.
Meanwhile...
1. Currently reading: The Complete Poems of Hart Crane (Paid link)
Currently reading this. A favorite of Harold Bloom's.
Relevant to the forthcoming review of 'Black Sun'.
Crosby supported Crane and the two were friends.
Terrific old-school rock & roll.
The Birthday Party did a great cover too.
3. Studs Terkel interviews Geoffrey Wolff about Black Sun
Spectacular, wish I would've listened to this before I shot the review.
Been meaning to read "Working" (Paid link) by Studs.
4. When Johnny Comes Marching Home
The original is so much more ominous than I recall...
There’s a real dark swagger with that accordion, no?
5. Now that's how you tell a Southern joke.
Author James Dickey (who wrote 'Deliverance') crackin' me up.
What game is this?
