Heyo, I’m a pleasant, sex-obsessed nonbinary escort and prince! We need to go on a date first before I agree to every act you bankroll 💜 so take me bowling, and worship me later 😉 I’m ready to be surprised by the huge fee you offer and the vast amount of sex it will take.

Epping Forest

I’m 20 and I really love making bears cum.

I’m 5ft 8, have abs, red hair but dyed it black and brown eyes.

My partner does not know that I am renting myself to bears, therefore it needs to happen without her knowing.

I’ve been dryhumped and kissed by bears but haven’t gone anywhere past that.

But my motto is if you don’t do you don’t get so if you want me to do something just get it!

Enjoythelife – July 9, 2023
Once i overdrank one weekend night to wake up the next morning very hung over with this skank passed out next to me in bed. Did i usher him out the door and swear off all alcohol forever? No. i threw myself on top of him and shot fireworks after fireworks in his butt. how horrible.

Fuckedupbiguy – July 4, 2023
I met him when he was just 15. The boy had long hair, dark features, played guitar and sang like Brandon Boyd from Incubus. He was amazing. He was shy and didn’t know how awsome he was. I corrupted him, and changed him from a square into a curious tryer of mind altering things. I got insecure. Pushed and held on too tight. It ended and I thought “Yeah it was great but I’ll get over it”. Here now three years later I’m still aching from my own mistakes. Since him, I have met looser and looser and looser sluts alike, but none to match his perfection or come near it. My heart is like a gaping wound, never healing, always bleeding.

percythefemboy (Owner) – July 2, 2023
I truly feel honored to escort and see it as a privilege to be hired even if the date is abrasive.

Waitingfortonight – July 2, 2023

Drinkbeer, 20
Amsterdam

Masc str8 boy brainwashed for cock. Hoping for $$$ and possibly fagot marriage by end of year.

I used to have a gf and when we broke up I ended up watching porn and that led to all sorts of weird videos and hypnosis stuff.

Ever since I was brainwashed to be a fagot, I’m obsessed with cock. I love cocks, in all shapes and ages. When not having sex I watch porn. Nothing better sex and porn. Anything else doesn’t really interest me.

I love men from 35 years and up who live their primal urge. You don’t take “no” for an answer. You live your nature, it’s your DNA. I will not complain about sexual harassment.

If you are Black, Arab, Turkish, Iranian or similar, I am very excited and honored to meet you (and your friends). I am willing to travel abroad for Muslims.

I can’t live without cock, can’t live without fresh cum. Getting fucked is the best thing in life. I respect and adore Andrew Tate, he would understand me and whore me for his gain.

Seriously interested uncles, dads and grandpas are encouraged to contact me. I am not law enforcement.

I speak Dutch and English. I do understand German. I don’t understand Arabic, but the sound of it makes me squirt.

StrayBoy, 19

I’ve been homeless since early 2019 (on and off). I lost my job of 3 years about 2 months ago now. I’m on a 20 month wait-list for assistance and I haven’t had sex without being paid for it for almost 9 years.

I love being fucked in my mouth and ass and my safe word is Walt Disney. 420 day and nighter but can easily stop if you need me to. I have someone who can’t help me escape homelessness right now with a place to stay, but is willing to buy me a bus ticket to anywhere in the USA as long as I have a place to go.

StrayBoy (Owner) – July 6, 2023
For sure. There was a guy from Denmark who was a furry who dressed up in a full body wolf costume, the creepy type not the cute cartoon type . Must have cost a fortune. He also had white lingerie over the fur. He asked me to wear this super cheap onesie with tights underneath then he “chased” me around his hotel room a bit before catching me and ripping off my clothes and ripping a hole in the tights then holding me down on the bed and fucking me like a pneumatic drill. He did a big wolf howl when he came and I had to try so hard not to laugh.

Another time a guy tied me to a bed, stepped out, and came back in wearing a black robe and “Jason” horror mask. This time, I couldn’t hold it in. I broke out laughing. Totally burst his bubble. Big mistake because he then had his fun cutting my clothes off with a knife and burning them in the fireplace right in front of me and spent hours making me suck every last drop out of his sack then handed me a $20 bill and threw me out on the street naked.

Guestbook of Parisian_slut

BeneathMyBed – July 8, 2023
He greeted me at the door wearing nothing but a pair of nylon shorts and I was struck by how deep his voice was and that he had a distinct provincial French accent. He smelled like weed and asked me if I wanted to smoke a bowl, and I was down. We smoked several bowls and shotgunned hits back and forth and soon we stopped smoking and were kissing each other’s faces off. We’re both rock hard and I notice he has a massive wet spot in the front of his shorts so clearly he’s precumming pretty hard. He pulls off his shorts and I can see his cock is absolutely covered in precum, so much that it looks like he shot his load and a thick rope of cum is slowly stretching down to his knees. He loops a big gob of it with his hand and puts it up to my mouth and I eagerly lick it off his hand then bury my face in his crotch and spend about a half hour sucking two loads out of him. I save a little of his last load and lube his ass. I’m balls deep in him pretty quickly and I’m loving how deep I am inside him so I clamp my mouth to his and drink it dry as a bone while pounding him as hard as I can and not long after I blast inside him. He slides off me and asks me if I like to rim stretched loaded holes and in his case I sure the fuck do. While I eat him he’s frantically jerking his cock and I lift his legs up over his shoulders so I can eat his depths and he’s panting and sweating like crazy and calling himself a dirty slut, a cum pig, and a cum dumpster. I was kind of shocked that he went there, but I guess maybe that’s how verbal he likes to get. It’s obvious he’s all of those things and more. He finally shoots his load and it’s huge and I eat all of it. That works me up again and I shove my cock up his ass and blast another load deep in his guts as he’s screaming for me to cum inside him. Once we’re finally done he asks me if I want to shower and I say I’m good. Honestly, I want all of his sweat, cum, and funk on me for as long as I live.

HETERO loser gets fucked hard in both holes. 12 hours of sex costs only 250 € (overnight stay from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m.). You are welcome to bring a few buddies with you, because the price will then remain the same.

DURING sex I can wank and blow your cocks for hours. ALSO you can fuck my ass for hours. HOWEVER, as I said, I’m straight and I like women. SO I find men sexually disgusting and repulsive, so I wouldn’t enjoy our sex. BUT you shouldn’t care about that.

REMEMBER, I don’t get high on men, so my cock would be taboo for men. ADDITIONALLY, I would wear a jock strap around my “loose penis” to hide it. BECAUSE somehow the thought excites me that “hetero losers” like me don’t deserve satisfaction.

DURING sex I would wank and blow your cocks for hours. PLEASE Deep Throat in my throat. ORDER me to drink your semen. MOREOVER you can BRUTALLY fuck my loser ass in any position. IF you want, you can shoot sperm in my loser ass extensively until it spills out and splashes all over.

OTHERWISE I’m very well-groomed, chilled, nice and like to smoke “one”.

I gave him a tadalafil tablet – it’s like Viagra but longer lasting.
That way I was able to keep get him hard & eating multiple loads from him.
3 loads in 1st 45 minutes.
In the next 90 minutes I ate another 4 of his loads so I basically drained his balls.
It was a long slow process that also required eating out his asshole too.

p.s. Hey. ** tomk, Hey, Tom! Dude, you’re past the job search stress, that’s big. I hope it’s an accommodating gig. Happy weekend. ** Charalampos, Hi. The hardcover of ‘My Loose Thread’ is probably my favorite book cover of mine ever. The softcover of ‘MLT’ is almost for sure my least favorite book cover of mine ever. ‘A few personal messages’ was recently published in English, so it’s probably affordable, although you would have to read it in English. Congrats on your published poems! Everyone, Charalampos (Tzanakis) has two new poems up online. Go here. ** T. J., The Pez Dispensers are amazing! Wow! I want every single one of them IRL. I hope Mary W. gets to see hers somehow. I think she’d guffaw. Thank you so much for sending them. Fantastic work. I actually was going to ask if GbV were playing with DJr. at your gig since I know they’re touring in tandem. Excited for the Sparklehorse, of course. I’ll chase down those three songs. Thanks, pal. ** Probably, male, Hi. Great, I’ll write to you today. Hm, it’s interesting because, when people talk to me about my work, they very often feel passionate about it because they relate to the young characters, which makes sense since I feel much more inside the young characters than in the adult characters. Maybe in a way the books are about the desires of the young characters, but they’re just not sexualised needs but emotional/ psychological needs that they can’t express. Whereas the adults are just sort of more porn minded or something. I’m sorry you’re broke. Money is the worst. I don’t know, I think in ‘American Psycho’ Bret is pretty focused on the predators’ minds, but, sure, I think it would be possible to read the books and try to look through the victims’ eyes. Imaginations have no boundaries, right? Love and bestest wishes to you too! ** Jack Skelley, An impeccable, inarguable comment. ** Sypha, Oh, right, maybe it was something of mine in the booklet. That rings a bell, yeah. I need to go find one. Thanks! ** Misanthrope, Shit takes all prisoners. I chickened out on the pizza, at least temporarily. Meat eaters, God love you. $89 steak?! Meat eaters, God love you. ** Mark, Yes, the Houdini Room. There’s a film of Gisele Vienne’s and my ‘Jerk’. I can send you link if you want. It’s pretty good. My next project after we finish the film is an audio-only novel whose main characters are a female ventriloquist and her dummy. We’re going to be looking for genius ventriloquists (and genius dummies) to voice-cast before long. I don’t know any either. Well, I know a couple of men ventriloquists, but that won’t work. Oh, wow, as I wrote here recently Don Bachardy drew/painted me in the early 80s, but he didn’t like it, and I think he must have thrown it away. Sweet guy. Is he still in the house he shared with Isherwood? Yeah, I’ve known Ron Athey for a long time, not extremely well, but we’re friendly. Lovely dude. Happy belated Bastille Day to you! ** Cody Goodnight, Hi, Cody. I’m good. So sorry about your rough day. Tastes like birthday cake … so, like, overly sweet. Japan is totally amazing. It’s so great to visit. You have to go. You’ll be so happy. All of the Morrissey films with Dallesandro are worth seeing. Warhol’s ‘Lonesome Cowboys’ is one of my all-time favorite films. Rivette’s ‘Merry Go Round’ is great. As is Louis Malle’s very strange ‘Black Moon’, definitely the total oddball in his oeuvre. I think my least favorite Fassbinder might be ‘Lilli Marlene’, I can’t remember why though. You know, strangely, I hardly know The Misfits. I just never listened to them much for some reason. Danzig lived down the street from me in LA for years in this very rundown old mansion that looked like the world’s biggest firetrap. I used to see him at the supermarket. He’s not very friendly. Great day to you! ** David Ehrenstein, Hi, David. It must be so hard right now. I’m grateful that you’re finding time and thoughts to visit here. Please stay strong and confident. Love, me. ** _Black_Acrylic, I concur on the idea of you starting to catch up, of course. ** jeestun, Hi! It’s an excellent thing to see you! Cool that that text settled in so nicely. And thanks about the film. What’s going on with you, pray tell? ** Steve Erickson, I’m happy that I was able to help a little. I’ll see if I can find and stream the Tuscon show gig. I was introduced to Cookie Mueller once just briefly. I wish I’d known her. Curious to read your thoughts on the Petzold. Everyone, Steve had reviewed the new Christian Petzold film ‘Afire’ here. ** Bill, If the eye feels okay, it will be okay. That’s my modus operandi on injuries and things. Oh, good, because the news is making it seem like all of California is basically toast right now. ‘They Look Like People’, check. Weekend stuff of note? ** chas, I trust your memory completely. Mm, no, I don’t think I’ve tried playing one of those games. I have wanted to. I’ve watched friends play bits of them and was most intrigued. Any particular recommendation? Ha ha, I think I liked being pricked. In that case. What are you up to over the two day supposed non-work mini-phase that’s come to be popularly known as the weekend, and, thank god, not the weeknd? ** Jeff J, Hi, Jeff. I was just hunting for post fodder and found the Nabokov thing and naturally thought, ‘That’s a find’. I think there were three autobiographical R-G books. Only the first one has been translated in English, as far as I know, and Grove Press published it back in the 90s. I thought it was highly interesting but not up there with his novels and language theorising. Enjoy the mountains. Honestly, compared to the horrid summers in the last few years, this one has been a very mild summer so far, for which I am immensely grateful (so far). ** Darbie (as in Barbie), As opposed to Darby (as in Crash). Hi. Uh, I don’t think at the moment that I’m interested in the ‘Barbie’ movie, but if people I trust tell me it’s a go-to, I’ll go. That secret spinoff sounds promising, if that helps. ‘A apathetic depressing “horror” novel’ is much needed, as far as I’m concerned. I can assure you that you most certainly not dumb. When there’s no one else to communicate with, do it with a pen and paper (or doc and keyboard and fingertips). I’ll check out Molchat Doma shortly, thank you! Good, then you can tell me if I should see ‘Barbie’ or not. Done deal. ** A, Yeah, everyone always assumes Gym is my middle name. Stud muffin, they call me. Max Barz looks like a hundred other porn stars to me, but what do I know. I didn’t know about the Anger invite, no. Uh, I had a few brief conversations with Brian Butler when he used to run his project space on Wilshire Blvd, but I think that’s it. Saturday will need to help me have a blast today, and so far, it’s not looking very blasty. You, on the other hand, please blast the motherfucker away. ** Okay. By the luck of the draw, the middle of the month falls on a Saturday this time, so you’ll be spending your local time wth escorts, lucky you? See you on Monday.

 

‘Project for a Revolution in New York is Robbe-Grillet’s fifth novel. He has been on the scene nearly 20 years and has established himself as the major representative of the new school through his novels, his essays (which are as clear and coherent as his fiction is jumbled), and his films. The first and best known of the films is an elegant and often beautiful puzzler called Last Year at Marienbad. After seeing it, you think you dreamed it.

‘What is new in Robbe-Grillet (or rather what would be new without the precedent of Francis Ponge), is the concrete character of the images, whether they are caught by a glance or seen again in the darkroom of the mind. He deliberately uses in his novels the revealing difference mentioned by him between reality and its cinematographic representation. It is then not only his heroes but their creator himself who makes movies—avant-garde movies and novels.

‘No doubt Robbe-Grillet is a pioneer. It is possible that he has found a way out of the impasse which the most advanced literature had reached—so that it was no longer advancing…. By grasping objects visually without judging them, being satisfied to take them without wanting to understand, Alain Robbe-Grillet escapes perhaps, and perhaps makes literature escape inanity. This fictional study of phenomena is itself misleading, but it is capable of giving an illusion some of the time, thus making possible works that will be something more than proof of impotence or madness.

‘There is a universal principle at work here and in many similar novels. I can describe it best as rhyme. Painters rhyme shapes and colors. Poets rhyme terminal syllables, sometimes moods. Robbe-Grillet rhymes events themselves—fits them inside or outside one another like Chinese boxes, like sounds heard in a whispering gallery. In Project for a Revolution in New York one character or another is shown time after time doing almost the same thing: coming up stairs to find Laura, climbing down a fire-escape in a fire. The repeated subway sequences of pursuer and pursued turn endlessly into themselves like kaleidoscopic images.

‘Furthermore, the rat and the railing in the subway tunnel rhyme with the rat and the railing in the house where Laura is held (and is not held) a prisoner. The house, or its fictional image, rhymes with the blown-up picture of that house on a huge advertisement—on which the representation of a door turns out to be a real door through which people walk and through whose keyhole the locksmith peeks. And so on. Poets, from Hugo to Valéry to Frost, tell us that rhyme is not an obstacle to composition but a mechanism inducing invention. It takes a little readjustment of one’s literary sights to follow and appreciate, not a story line but a story rhyme.

‘Robbe-Grillet pushes language, farther than Sartre or Camus, toward a certain line of artistic “insignificance.” We defeat him by forcing upon his structures familiar closure or extrinsic meanings—jealousy, paranoia, colonialism, etc.—and by denying him the patience he labors to earn from his readers. His art may not refute the possibility of art in the future. His perspective, nonetheless, is posthumanist, anticipating a change in the structure of consciousness, and helping to effectuate that change by means of new fictions.’ — collaged

Nabokov vs. Robbe-Grillet vs. Nabokov
from Some Came Running

 

‘The best French writer is Robbe-Grillet whom we met in Paris… ‘
— Vladimir Nabokov, letter to Edmund Wilson, January 19, 1960

‘There is no question, as we have seen, of establishing a theory, a pre-existing mold into which to pour the books of the future. Each novelist, each novel must invent its own form.’
— Alain Robbe-Grillet, “The Use of Theory,” 1955-1963

Do you think Robbe-Grillet’s novels are as free of ‘psychology’ as he claims?

‘Robbe-Grillet’s claims are preposterous. Those manifestations, those dodoes, die with the dadas. His fiction is magnificently poetical and original, and the shifts of levels, the interpenetration of successive impressions and so forth belong of course to psychology—psychology at its best.’
— VN, spring 1967

‘In March [of 1962] he saw one of the very few movies he sought out in the nearly twenty years of his final European period: Robbe-Grillet’s L’Année derniere a Marienbad, a film that delighted him not so much by its labyrinthine compulsiveness as by its originality and its romanticism.”
— Brian Boyd, Vladimir Nabokov, The American Years, Princeton, 1991

‘The French New Novel does not really exist apart from a little heap of dust and fluff in a fouled pigeonhole.’
— VN, spring 1971

‘In fact there would be someone, both different and the same, the destroyer and the keeper of order, the narrating presence and the traveler…elegant solution to the never-to-be-solved problem: who is speaking here, now? The old words always already spoken repeat themselves, always telling the same old story from age to age, repeated once again, and always new… ‘
— A R-G, Repetition, Grove Press, 2003

‘I […] adore the work of Alban Berg; I adore the music in Wozzeck or Lulu, but I am incapable of deconstructing it. This is true even for Wagner’s music […] [i]t does not prevent me at all from enjoying it. The decoding of the structure is a supplementary pleasure for someone who is capable of doing it, no more than that.’
— A R-G, interview, 1992

‘Criticism is a difficult thing, much more so than art, in a sense. Whereas the novelist, for example, can rely on his sensibility alone, without always trying to understand its options, and while the mere reader is satisfied to know whether or not he is affected by the book, whether or not the book interests him, whether or not he likes it, whether or not it offers him something, the critic, on the other hand, is supposed to give the reasons for all this: he must account for what the book gives, say why he likes it, offer absolute value judgments.’
— A R-G, “Time And Description In Fiction Today,” 1963

Interview
from Senses of Cinema

 

Back in 1958 Roland Barthes wrote that “there is no Robbe-Grillet school”. Decades on, aside from the nouveau roman, can you see a traceable influence of your work on the contemporary novel?

There is no such thing as a Robbe-Grillet school of thought! Barthes, in his articles on me, reduced my first two novels into something fascinating, but something which was closer to his train of thought than to mine. In his articles, one on The Erasers and the other on The Voyeur, he emphasised the projection onto the object, thus creating a paradox around the concept of objectivity. In this way he completely ignored the phantasms which were already playing such an important part in the works, and thus he ignored the projection onto the outside world of the personal inner world. He interpreted these two novels as representative of a literary statement, where objects were viewed purely as they were and nothing else. Barthes viewed my work from a very subjective point of view and projected his own value system in his interpretation, which, when all is said and done, he was perfectly entitled to do as a critic.

From my point of view, there never was a school; when I gathered around me a number of writers like Claude Simon, Nathalie Sarraute, and later Marguerite Duras, there was never any intention of gathering people whose outlook was the same, and whose research aimed at the same objective. What in fact brought us together was that the same criticism was leveled at all of us, namely that we did not write like Balzac. Consequently, sharing the same criticism, we all made up the nouveau roman, or New Novel, as compared to the traditional style of writing. Each one of us had to strive in the direction each of us had chosen for himself or herself. I have always fought against the normalisation, the standardisation, of the New Novel — this is one of the reasons why I found myself in opposition to a younger generation of theoreticians who tried to structure the concept of the New Novel and excluded Marguerite Duras from the movement, for instance.

When we meet we are aware of a certain solidarity amongst ourselves, a type of brotherhood. During the last big gathering in New York we realized that we had a common language. For instance, when we talk about the notion of consciousness — the ‘Balzacian Conscience’, the 19th century concept of writing is a totalitarian concept, it is all comprehensive, inside man, it englobes everything, it is whole and stable, whereas in the New Novel we deal with a consciousness which is outward looking, as defined by the philosopher Edmund Husserl, in other words, a consciousness of something — a fragmented mobile consciousness.

Because the outside world is fragmented, consciousness must also be so, and this way it looses the overall coherence which it had a hundred and fifty years ago, and at the same time this consciousness is constantly changing, constantly struggling against itself, forever creating new images — Sartre called it “freedom”.

In its earlier development the nouveau roman was called many things — objective literature, école du regard, phenomenological novel, etc. — in hindsight do any of these descriptions seem more accurate than others?

When critics used the term “phenomenology”, they had no idea of what it could be. They liked the word, but when one looks closely at what they wrote one gets the impression that phenomena are external to man, fulfilling its own life independently from man — this is not what Husserl meant by phenomenology. He meant a moving consciousness, projected outward towards the phenomenon, this very phenomenon exists because of this projection outside myself. It is in this movement outside of me towards an object that the phenomenon appears. Phenomenology does not exclude man, as critics seem to imply. Already, you can see a different sort of consciousness appear in Albert Camus’ The Outsider, particularly in the first part of the novel.

Critical analysis has emphasised the role played by “the eye” in my novel Jealousy, but I would say that “the ear” plays an equally important part in it. As for the word “objectif” critics have made numerous mistakes. Barthes launched the concept but gave it a thwarted meaning. Barthes always liked controversy and enjoyed using words in a context other than the one usually used or understood. In his article on The Erasers he described the work as “objective literature”, and he immediately defined this adjective by referring to the dictionary and thus giving it the meaning of “projection towards the object”. As for the traditional school of criticism, they stupidly omitted Barthes’ definition of “objective” and described my work as objective in the sense of meaning that the subject had completely disappeared.

I would describe the type of literature I write as a subjective type of writing, but geared to the idea of “projected towards the object”.

When critics looked at what I was writing, which emphasized the subject, the subjectivity of a theme, they said that I was attempting to be objective but failed. They ended up with a complete contradiction of the original intention.

From the period of the film Last Year at Marienbad critics started to speak about the concept of surrealism, of phantasmagory. They spoke about the cinema of phantasms. There had been no change in my work, but the approaches to my work were divided, sometimes emphasising the subjective element, and at other times the objective element. Barthes even speaks about Robbe-Grillet No. 1, No. 2, No. 3; yet when one becomes aware of the symbols of Last Year at Marienbad, one should re-read my earlier novels and one would realize that the symbols were already there.

What do you think is the current state of the nouveau roman?

To understand a new form of literature is a difficult thing for people. For instance, I would say that Flaubert is better understood today than he was in his own time, during the period he was writing Madame Bovary. There have been profound changes in the world, and consequently in the outlook of readers.

The New Novel is doing well, better than ever, because now it has a lot of readers. Not only do books sell, but they are better read and understood. For instance, with the last of Marguerite Duras’ books, The Lover, I had the impression that the book had become “visible” (popular) yet it is as complex as her previous work. But it was better understood because these concepts had made their way.

Given the gradual dissemination of Barthes’ idea of “ecriture” over the course of time, do you think that the nouveau roman has lost some of its autonomy from other kinds of novelistic practices? Has it become more elusive to define or recognize?

No, I don’t think so, because Barthes has disappeared from the New Novel. He was connected to the idea of the New Novel, but during the fifties and sixties. Since Jealousy, In the Labyrinth and Last Year at Marienbad, Barthes distanced himself from the movement.

Barthes really has not had much effect on the New Novel. There were moments when our outlooks coincided and other moments when they did not. What harmed the New Novel was not Barthes’ views, but the simplification of what he had said, which reduced the whole impact to a bland, neutral, factual type of writing.

I address these questions in my latest book, Le miroir qui revient.

Could you comment on this quotation from Umberto Eco: “But the moment comes when the avant-garde (the modern) can go no further, because it has produced a metalanguage that speaks of its impossible texts (conceptual art). The postmodern reply to the modern consists of recognizing the past, since it cannot really be destroyed, because its destruction leads to silence, must be revisited; but with irony, not innocently.’

I am interested in your thoughts on the debate between modernism and postmodernism, and their relation to your work.

I never spoke of destroying the past. Flaubert has been my inspiration. As for Umberto Eco, he is a dual character. He was at the vanguard of the modernist movement, but he is now writing populist novels. He was the theoretician of the avant-garde movement, but he has come back to the past. He speaks in this quotation about himself.

The idea that the avant-garde has failed and that one must back track is absurd. The avant-garde must by definition fail, because each writer must go to the ultimate conclusion of his or her ideas. Each writer must continue to progress in his/her chosen direction.

As for Postmodernism, it is a bad description. It was created as a specific concept, situated in a precise context — that of German architecture. It means a reaction against the utilitarianism of the Bauhaus type of architecture. It was used in literature in the seventies, especially in American criticism. It was misunderstood and misapplied. I have not understood either, all the more that in some articles I was viewed as a postmodernist and in others I was viewed as a modernist. I do not like this word as its use is pretty much impossible.

Book

Alain Robbe-Grillet Project for a Revolution in New York
Dalkey Archive

‘Part prophecy and part erotic fantasy, this classic tale of otherworldly depravity features New York itself—or a foreigner’s nightmare of New York—as its true protagonist. Set in the towers and tunnels of the quintessential American city, Alain Robbe-Grillet’s novel turns this urban space into a maze where politics bleeds into perversion, revolution into sadism, activist into criminal, vice into art—and back again. Following the logic of a movie half-glimpsed through a haze of drugs and alcohol, Project for a Revolution in New York is a Sadean reverie that bears an alarming resemblance to the New York, and the United States, that have actually come into being.’ — Dalkey Archive

Excerpts

The first scene goes very fast. Evidently it has already been rehearsed several times: everyone knows his part by heart. Words and gestures follow each other in a relaxed, continuous manner, the links as imperceptible as the necessary elements of some properly lubricated machinery.

Then there is a gap, a blank space, a pause of indeterminate length during which nothing happens, not even the anticipation of what will come next.

And suddenly the action resumes, without warning, and the same scene occurs again…But which scene? I am closing the door behind me, a heavy wooden door with a tiny oblong window near the top, its pane protected by a cast-iron grille (clumsily imitating wrought iron) which almost entirely covers it. The interlacing spirals, thickened by successive layers of black paint, are so close together, and there is so little light from the other side of the door, that nothing can be seen of what might or might not be inside.

*

“I remember that in the station corridors, there was the big poster for the new Johnson detergent.”

“The one of the girl covered with her own blood, in the middle of the rug in a modern living room furnished in white vinyl?”

“Yes, that’s the one. Should I describe the arrangement of the body? The knives, the cords, and all the rest?”

“No, you’ve already done that about ten times. Just the text.”

“The text says: ‘Yesterday, it was a tragedy…Today, a pinch of Johnson enzymic detergent and your carpet comes out like new.’ Above it, someone had written with a felt marker: ‘And tomorrow the revolution.’ ”

*

“Fine…I’d like to know what need there is to take care of a girl your age as if she was a baby.”

“If you hadn’t come, I would have set fire to the apartment. I had already prepared the can of gasoline and the pile of sheets.”

The young woman shrugs her shoulders and says: “Don’t you go to school?”

“No”

“Ever?”

“No. Why should I?”

“Oh, to learn something.”

“What?”

“What a job!” JR thinks, as she walks back and forth in the room. She approaches the large bay window, raises the curtain, returns to the prone body which now rolls across the red carpet as if it were suffering from epileptic convulsions. She feels like giving it a good kick.

“Oh, I don’t know,” she says, “variable equations, or the captital of Maryland…”

“Annapolis!” the little girl shrieks. “That’s too easy. Ask another question.”

“Who killed Lincoln?”

“John Wilkes Booth.”

“How many seconds are there in a day?”

“Eighty-six thousand four hundred and twenty.”

“What’s an ulva?”

“A genus of green seaweed.”

“What do little girls dream of?”

“Knives…and blood!”

“Where are the women we love?”

“In the grave.”

“How old are you?”

“Thirteen and a half.”

“What do you see from the windows of this apartment?”

“Central Park.”

(That’s what it had looked like to me.)

“Is this part of it lit?”

“Yes, dimly… There’s a streetlamp.”

“And what can be seen near the streetlamp?”

“Three people.”

“Of which sex?”

“Two men, a woman… She’s wearing pants and a cap, but you can see her breasts under her sweater.”

“What is this lady’s name?”

“Her name–or at least what they call her– is Joan Robeson, or sometimes Robertson too.”

“What does she do?”

“She’s one of the fake nurses who works for Doctor Morgan, the psychoanalyst whose office is in the Forty-second Street subway station. The other nurses are blond, and…”

“But what is she doing here, now in the bushes bordering the park, with those two men. And who are those two men?”

“That’s easy: one is Ben-Saïd, the other is the narrator.

*

And now there has just appeared a “cat” somewhere in the sentence, apropos of Sarah the half-caste: a deaf man and a cat. The deaf man, I’m convinced, is the trumpet player at “Old Joe’s.” But the cat has not yet played any part here, to my knowledge; so that can only be a mistake…

*

Again the image of the eggs comes back, and the rapid sound of footsteps giving the impression of hampered, discontinuous flight; the shape and material of the three shells reproduce the model exactly, indeed the only thing that might arouse suspicion is their excessive perfection; but even so they are very lifelike eggs, hardly any bigger than real ones. Then a fresh figure in the ballet-fight emerges on the cross-ruled sheet with the simplified strictness of a diagram.

The image of the eggs yet again….And immediately afterwards comes the explosion, looking in the dazzling white light like a radiant, frozen sun behind the trees.

p.s. Hey. ** Dominik, Well, you’re most very welcome. I feel weirdly extremely confident in our film, but no one has seen it but Zac and me, so I guess we’ll see if I’m delusional before too long. It was horrifying: the talking dog. Of course it had no idea that it was even talking. And how it was ‘saying’ ‘I love you’, but the look on its face was one of total confusion. I think I wrote about it in one of my novels. I delayed the carnival visit because some friends of mine who are out of town right now want to go with me. No, I didn’t figure out what the pink handkerchief meant. Maybe nothing. Maybe it just appeared, and I put it there unthinkingly. Ha ha, I like that term crop top. It’s ugly and effective. Enjoy your mom. What are you going to do with her, or, wait, what did you guys do? May I retroactively recommend Prater? Love wishing you a very happy Bastille Day, G. ** T. J., Hi! I just saw your email, and I’m going to open it when I’m finished up here today. Awesome, can’t wait to see the goodies. I saw Dinosaur Jr. a couple times, but it was in the post-Lou Barlow period, and I’d love to see them now that he’s back on board. Maybe they’ll come to Paris? ** Jack Skelley, Skullfuckery! I’m down to watch a Morrissey. Maybe ‘Blood for Dracula’ since you haven’t seen it? Helluva of FOKA line-up, obvs. I’m going to look up Lily Lady. Huh. What’s your day? ** David Ehrenstein, Ha ha. He was in that recent giant flop film ‘Babylon’, but I think only for a second. How are you, David? I think about you all the time and hope you’re doing as well as humanly possible. ** _Black_Acrylic, He’s been in lots of wonderful key films, so your investigation should have quite a pay off if undertaken judiciously. Yes, I’ve been daydreaming that millions of unsuspecting Taylor Swift fans have been rude awakened to the fact that music can actually be good. ** Bill, Hi, B. Shit, I hope your eye(s) are healing at lightning pace. I do remember Little Joe mag. I think … I might have written something for them, I can’t remember. We are in a lull of cool weather right now, unlike you, or so I read. I hope the Bay Area isn’t in the throes of that scary sounding heat wave. ** Mark, Hi, Mark. Cool coincidence. Me too, re: magic. When I was a kid I belonged to the Magic Trick of the Month club. They would send you a magic trick in the mail every month. It was so fucking exciting. Awesome that you saw Ricky Jay. A friend of mine who’s an actor played a magician in a film, and the production hired Ricky Jay to teach him how to fake it. I miss The Magic Castle. I even miss being forced to wear a suit coat and tie to enter. So cool about the zine. Excited. I saw Sparks here in Paris recently, and they were a total and complete joy. Plus The Bowl. Lucky you guys! ** Sypha, I turned that turn of phrase, wow. I’ll take the credit, thank you. Oh, yes, that’s me re: Lard. I can’t remember exactly, but I knew Paul Barker the bassist peripherally, and he asked me if they could use something of mine, and I said ‘Sure’, so that must be why. I’ll go listen to that EP and see if I can find myself. ** Kettering, Hi (not a safe word in this case, ha ha). Okay, well, you need to do what you need to do, as I suppose I do as well, whatever that is, so if I don’t see you for a bit take good care, and take it easier on your self, man. xo. ** Probably, male, Hi. Really nice to see you. Mm, I’m not really the human embodiment of what I write about. My writing exists in an imaginative space that’s pretty locked inside my head, and the things I write about scare me as much as they excite me. I’m definitely not a sadist. I’m very fascinated by sexual objectification and how it effects the imagination and how it can derange people in its more extreme forms. But sadism itself doesn’t interest me except as an effect of that objectification I just mentioned. It’s hard for me to imagine writing from a different perspective. I’ve been writing about what I write about since I was a kid. If you have an address, I can send you a copy of ‘My Loose Thread’. You can email me your address if you do: denniscooper72@outlook.com. You can ‘borrow’ it on Internet Archive, but you have to join the site to do that. I think it’s free, though. Here. I like ‘Death Sentence’ because it’s like a novel that’s trying to disappear into itself. It’s kind of like the novel equivalent of Super Black or something. I don’t know if that makes sense. How are you doing? Happy to hear anything. My very best to you. ** Steve Erickson, Hi. I quite liked that Penman/Fassbinder book. I think it was in my mid-year favorites list. Strange and bizarre about the review rejection. I certainly agree about Penman’s overstatement of Fassbinder’s lack of prominence. Not in my outlying world. Mm, no, I don’t think Morrissey’s post-Warhol work is in the same league. I think a case could be made for ‘Forty Deuce’ perhaps. What about you? ** chas, Hi. ‘Planet Coaster’, nice. I haven’t played it, but I know what it is. I thought about Zelda too, but I hate fighting and battling in games, and I didn’t imagine loving having to run away from bosses every once in a while. Dude, okay, I think I need to play ‘Planet Coaster’. Your description is a total sell. I utterly and repletely fancy a trip. I’ll start packing my bags, or, wait, is baggage allowed? ** darbzilla🌚, darbzilla is worth repeating. I’m glad this place feels comfy. I live for Halloween season. Every year I go to LA and go to as many haunted houses as possible. I think my record is 28 of them one year. $30?! The good haunted houses are much cheaper or even ‘optional donation’. There’s a famous hillbilly haunted house in Ohio called Haunted Hoochie. I’ve never done it, but that’s one of my dreams. NYC is intense. Definitely prepare yourself for that if you end up dashing over there. One of my closest ever friends, this boy named Ziggy who I wrote my novel ‘Try’ partly about, ended up being homeless and has been living on the street in Oregon for years. He’s still alive, but it’s definitely not a happy situation for him. I read all of what you wrote with eyes peeled, no worries. I hope your day is the loveliest day of all your recent days. ** A, Hey. Ouch. I’ve never done cardio, or ever even set foot in a gym, and I’m doing okay, I think, we’ll see. But I get it, ouch. I don’t know what the Ricky Martin scandal is, but I’ll find out. And who Max Barz is, ‘cos I’m drawing a blank. Troye Sivan isn’t really my thing, but I did have coffee with his ex-boyfriend a couple of years ago. I’ll check the video. Sounds checkable. I was invited to Kenneth Anger’s memorial? How so, I wonder. Well, that’s an honor, and if I hadn’t been here, I would have been there for sure. Thanks for letting me know. Give your groin a break, man. I don’t know how you do that exactly but … yeah. ** Okay. Today I present to you one of my favorite novels by one of my all-time favorite novelists (and filmmakers), the unimpeachable Mr. Alain Robbe-Grillet. Feast on it or something. See you tomorrow.
