How A Man Lives
Hello World! (yes, we begin with the very basic "printf" of computer programming). We have this to report:
-
Roberto Balano is a friking genius, and one must (re-)learn how to write a novel from him
-
We are also feasting on lamb and wine (why does this choice of food sound so Hebraic?), and both complement Balano's "Savage Detectives" very well
-
This hotel room is being rocked by tourists descending upon this California wine valley
-
We are not tourists here but then maybe we are, metaphorically speaking, as we pass through others' lives, and let others pass through ours
-
Bach is making us feel very very religious but then today, in the interiors, nihilism seems to have a upper hand
-
Perhaps the latter feeling comes to fore if one reads Balano to wine and Bach,
-
which makes us want to give up these endless games we are playing (or perhaps more appropriately, "are learning to play"), and head out into...
-
oblivion, sunsets, red dust, rivers, green leaves in the rain, the dark space between a woman's breasts, the terrain of skin at one's wrists, stones, and chains of words
