happy birthday to thelonius monk 🙏

all this modern lit stuff is sooo concerned with ethics & politics. instead people should be reading those refined aesthetes, above such petty concerns, like Tolstoy & Dostoevsky. Tostoy & Dostoevsky? Tolstoy & Dostoevsky. might as well throw in Belinsky & Pisarev i guess

same as it ever was. well ok, maybe worse also

sort of depressing how many old moots are on twitter

I think the Nobel peace prize should have went to my wife

as in she lied about sleeping with *particular* people. they both agreed to sleep with other people in a general sense. bad form on her part but im pretty sure thats still just called "lying". he's still paying her phone bill

yea & the relationship went 8 years youd think he'd have got the hang of it

didnt have time to really get into the subject with him but i think the line was that he asked if she was sleeping with people, she lied & said no. & that's how she cheated in an open poly relationship. elevation of bad communication to an art form

guy @ the bus stop told us he got cheated on 3 times by his (ex-)girlfriend while they were open & polyamorous...?

I wrote about "Seiobo There Below," which I think is K's most interesting book, in two parts:

But "The Melancholy of Resistance" likely gives a better sense of why he won the big prize.

but at some point i should make a list of nobel literature prize winners who are actually good

these days i dont even read enough to snob like that about popular awards

read 2 of his other books & have been meaning to go back to his work for ages now.. excited for more people to read him :)

loved melancholy of resistance when i read it a few years ago, don't let this discourage you from reading it

The colonization of Morocco was a major point of contention for the anarchist movement in Spain between 1909 and the civil war of the '30s, tho that is mostly forgotten in the rest of the world now. Spanish anarchists also concerned themselves then w/ European colonization of Palestine and Ethiopia
