\u2022 “Writing is so much about subverting dogmatisms of all kinds, above all the ones that insist you cannot go there! You must not say that! Writers need to go anywhere, to take anything on. And the only rule is to do it well.” Rikki Ducornet<\/a> in a feature at Dennis Cooper’s which has been linked here before but was previously on DC’s old (now deleted) blog.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “This book-cover trend is turning bookstores into flower shops,” says Kenzie Bryant<\/a>. “How publishing’s floral-print trend came to rule the world’s bookshelves.” (Where “the world” means the USA, as usual…)<\/p>\n

For this listener, Nardis<\/em><\/a> has become a full-on musical obsession. I have more than ninety official and bootleg recordings of the tune stored in the cloud, ranked in a fluid and continually updated order of preference, so they follow me wherever I go. In my travels as a writer, I use\u00a0Nardis<\/em> as a litmus test of musical competence: if I see a jazz band in a bar or a busker taking requests, I inevitably suggest it. (If they\u2019ve never heard of it, I understand that they must be new at this game.) By now I\u2019ve heard so many different interpretations, in such a far-flung variety of settings, that a Platonic ideal of the melody resides in my mind untethered to any actual performance. It\u2019s as if\u00a0Nardis<\/em> were always going on somewhere, with players dropping in and out of a musical conversation beyond space and time.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “Ren\u00e9 Magritte still has the power to surprise,” says Sophie Haigney<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Ishmael Reed<\/a> at the Brockport Writers Forum, 1st May, 1974.<\/p>\n
