Love Nabokov. His writing is so strong it carries over even translated from english into portuguese, a language with a very different structure, he still puts clear pictures in the mind. Cormac McCarthy is great in english, but he doesn’t translate well into portuguese and loses much of his force, like looking at the statue of David made out of lego. You can tell what it is, but it feels far from the real thing.
hah yeah Denis Johnson wrote Jesus' Son. my leaving the word johnson dangling there in empty space in an essay about sex was purely to amuse the bard of moonlight.
You know what’s a classic people can learn about writing sex ? The Story Of O . That shit doesn’t hold back
man, right?
So good , had to read in my first MFA class

Somewhere, Karl Hungus is fixing Bunny’s cable. And I take comfort in that.
