p.s. Hey. The young Scottish writer Chris Kelso interviewed me about PERMANENT GREEN LIGHT for 3:AM Magazine if you’re interested. If so, it’s here. ** David Ehrenstein, Thank you. Yeah, it holds up. Everyone, Mr. Ehrenstein’s FaBlog has a new goodie at its top called ‘The “Seventeen” Excuse’. What does that title hint at? Find out. Also, if you’ve been curious about what exactly David has for sale in his long running and, by now, probably legendary house/garage sale, he listed the items in this weekend’s commenting arena if you missed it/them and want to go back and check. ** KK, Hi, Kyle. Cool. How was ‘Desolation Center’? It’s among my most-want-to-see films right now. Man, you’re reading some unimpeachably great books there, in my humble opinion. Leve is great. Even here in France, his books were largely overlooked until he died, whereupon they were declared great, unluckily too late for him. Lentil soup rules, totally agree. Borscht too. I’ll also put in a good word for Gazpacho. Hope your weekend did the trick maximally. ** Bill, Thanks. Yeah, I didn’t check all the links to see if they were dead, oops. Swezey is a really lovely guy. He co-ran the great Amok Press, as you probably know. Can’t wait to see the film. Grr. ** Sypha, I actually knew that you like Louis Wain to the point that I wondered if your love was the original impetus for putting him in there. And, yes, your excellent essay on him … Everyone, If you scoured the Varioso, you know that Louis Wain, cat lover and depicter, was one of the topics. Well, none other than James ‘Sypha’ Champagne wrote an essay about Wain for none other than Yuck ‘n’ Yum Magazine a few years ago, and may I suggest you supplement your knowledge of Mr. Wain by adding James’s input? Here goes. ** Kyler, Oh, me too, trust me, re: your grandma’s soup. ** James, Gosh, well, thank you, man. Same back to you. ** Keatouac, That’s a good one. I’d wear silver pants if I was in my mid-20s or under. Thanks about the weekend’s big V. ** Misanthrope, Thanks, G. Yeah I’m going to bring the Variosos back. I don’t know what took me so long. A bunch of them are full of long dead things, of course, so I’ll have to be selective. Good, good, all good, about the novel’s far along and tightening work. You’re gonna have the best immediate future of all of us, I predict. ** Steve Erickson, Hi. Yeah? I just don’t think I could figure out any reason that I would ever go see ‘Hustlers’. But, hey, using Scott Walker is a nice surprise. ** Dominik, Hi, big D! Thanks a lot. Yeah, I’m very happy with the novel, and my trusted reader was enthusiastic. My trusted reader also confirmed my instinct the it’s a tough and intense book, so … Now it’s at its first big hurdle, i.e. my agent is reading it. So, she has to like it enough to agree to handle and sell it to publishers, and, like I said, I think its a toughy, so I’m on pins and needles waiting for her response. Yes, best SCAB yet, I totally agree. Super exciting! And what’s next is equally exciting. You’re coming to Paris next summer! And with Anita! I’m already really, really looking forward to that. How cool! I hope the interview leads to a big yes. Fingers ultra-crossed. My weekend was pretty lowkey, it turned out. I had a bunch of plans for Saturday, but we had a huge protest/riot here as the Yellow Vests returned to action, and the metro was kaput, so I was stuck in my hood. Bunches of love to you, and I hope your week starts with all kinds of fireworks. ** _Black_Acrylic, Hi, Ben. Kopel’s awesome, so glad you liked the poem. Yes, I’ll restore more Variosos, thanks! ** Natty, Hi, Natty! Yeah, it was really great to get to finally meet you and have such a fantastic visit! RAIDD, huh, never heard of it. Nice name. And I’m happy you both experienced Berlin’s darkness and dug being dipped in it. That sounds fun. Thank you a lot for the links. I had stupidly forgotten the name of the filmmaker and was going to write to you and ask again. And the ‘in’ with Women is a big help too. How is it being back in Pittsburgh? Are you a new man? Take care, pal, and I hope to see you again soon! Love, me. ** Paul Curran, Thanks a lot, Paul. I sort of can’t believe I actually finished it. For a long time, I thought it might be a permanent half-dead duck. Use my completion skills as impetus for yours, if that works and helps. Oh, it looks like Tokyo/Japan in the second half of January. Gisele is supervising a Japanese version of one our pieces that’ll play in Kyoto then, and I think that timing is the cementer. Take care, bud. ** alan, Him, Alan! How very nice to see you, sir! No, I still haven’t seen the Tarantino, stupidly. No one I know here has much of any interest in seeing it, so I’ll have to go alone, and seeing movies alone is not my favorite thing for some bizarre reason. I hope I haven’t missed it. I am especially intrigued by the period LA setting, you bet. I’m glad to hear it’s a good one. I’m expecting to really enjoy it. How are you? Thanks so much for coming in. ** Armando, Hi. Both of those plans got killed off by the big protests/riots on Saturday and their metro-shutting powers. I think the Serra stops playing on Wednesday, so I’m going to try to see it today or tomorrow, if I can. You weekend sounds like it resembled my weekend pretty much. Later, man. ** Okay. I am very happy to announce via today’s post the beginning of the Halloween season here on the blog. If you know this place, you know that a Halloween thematic will gradually be heavily encroaching on the goings-on here, and I strongly encourage you to get in the mood and join the celebration. See you tomorrow.
