Dan Sinykin is good. So is Timothy Bewes’ Free Indirect: The Novel in a Postfictional Age. Not sure how “important” people consider the latter, though.

I was in the middle of the first volume of My Struggle when I posted. Now I'm about halfway through volume 3. I highly recommend.

My dream is to teach a yearlong Proust seminar for aspiring fiction writers. First three volumes in the fall, last four in the spring. I'd teach it alongside Barthes' The Preparation of the Novel and Camera Lucida. Absorb the moods and patterns of the sad French boys.

I think the author of this piece and/or others at Brevity should let us know if anyone there has personally invested in any AI companies. This reads like pure boosterism.

Way too many people out there who want to Be A Writer but don't actually want to write.

Eric Blix @ericblix.bsky.social · Jun 20

I think the only point of "writing" this way is "to have produced a text." If you don't like or can't do the actual work of writing, just do something else with your time. Jesus.

Alright, Knausgaard is incredible.

Eric Blix @ericblix.bsky.social · Jun 17

I didn’t think I’d enjoy Knausgaard as much as I have so far. The writing sneaks up on you.

What’s with the guy who is always on here asking for money and is always apparently in an urgent crisis because he wants to live on a boat?

Eric Blix @ericblix.bsky.social · Jun 14

I’m reading Proust and Knausgaard side by side. It’s fun.
