just finished Schattenfroh, and it did managed to land in a satisfying way. it's good, but I think I rank it just below Solenoid and Books of Jacob, but I'm glad I read it. quick Q to those of you that have also read it: a couple of the pages, including the very last page (1001), had faded print on it. is it like this in your volumes as well (i.e., is this a printing error by Deep Vellum, or intentional?)

Halfway through gravity's rainbow second read, noticing a theme of the schwartzkommando being dreamed into reality by filmmakers and creatives in friction with the hard fact of the matter being that they were created by imperial violence and genocide. Some kind of commentary on people's loss of their handle on reality and material circumstance in the conditions of postmodernism, getting superstructure confused with base, or reversed like Baudrillard? I'll have to keep reading to find out I suppose.

Finished Remains of the Day by Ishiguro today, I liked it alright. Very voicey like some of his other stuff, it was kinda fun to watch the reveal that the guy was working for a fascist sympathizer and possible Nazi collaborator for years but him being too wrapped up in his stupid job and weird expiring class position to ever notice, or really even understand what was going on around him. The super limited perspective bit he likes to do worked fairly well in this one, I appreciate when he doesn't dwell on memory and chooses to write around unreliable narration instead, he's not doing anything super subtle with it like Nabokov or whatever but I enjoy the silly ironic stuff pretty well. Finally complete on Ishiguro now, I can see why he's a bit divisive, if you don't like his favorite tools and themes I dunno if he'll appeal too much considering how often he does the same things throughout his stuff. I think when we were orphans is one of his weakest and klara and the Sun might be my favorite of his overall. Shasta Fay fucked around with this message at 21:46 on Nov 16, 2025 |
