p.s. Hey. There are my faves of the year so far as best I can recollect them, and I’m hoping to find out some of your 2022 faves in return. No obligation, of course, but it would be cool. ** David Ehrenstein, That’s quite a story. Bit of a whopper, but still. I’m sure I told you I briefly met Nico and Ari once at the Pyramid Club in NYC. They were both strung out and looking for heroin, and they didn’t look their best, let’s say. ** _Black_Acrylic, Wow, so it’s finally happening. That’ll be fascinating to watch play out. Highly hopeful for the result you want, which would very beneficial for us over here too, needless to say. ** Tosh Berman, Hi, Tosh. I hadn’t heard he killed his bodyguard, whoa. He is sadly quite rightwing, has publicly sympathised with the far right and made disturbingly Islamophobic remarks in recent years. But, yes, quite the ultimate star. ** Steve Erickson, Hey. I’ll make a beeline for ‘Who Killed My Father’ then. Should be easy to find in English here somewhere. ** Bill, Cool, my first return 2022 tip. Thanks! I will most certainly find it wherever it is. ** Okay. That was easy. So, hit me up with some faves if you don’t mind, and I’ll see you tomorrow.

Dennis! Your list is making me feel like a total philistine! Tell me how you make the time & focus to engage with so much art… Do you have specific reading hours every day? As you know, I’ve been struggling with my reading a bit recently; could be because we’re moving, so currently I don’t have the physical or mental space for much reading. Once I’ll have my own study, this will change for sure! Also, weird thing: I imagined I commented under your previous post, but I didn’t… anyway, it was so beautiful & sexy! A great prelude to your incoming boy post, which I’ve been awaiting.
Sad to syaI haven’t kept up with recent developments in the arts.
I just heard Woddy Allen is ann9uncng his retirement. His last film barey played anywhere and I messed it’sL/A.Screenngs.
Godard has also retired.
Hi Dennis! I love reading your best of lists. Is this the first time a Kendrick album has featured? The first time I listened to it I wasn’t into it but I’ve found myself going back to it a lot. It’ll be interesting to see where it falls after some time has passed, but I think it might be one of his best. I liked the record by They Hate Change this year, and I had liked the first 700 Bliss tracks but haven’t listened to the album yet.
Apart from that I’ve spent time this year in the discord server for Holiday clothing brand. Interesting how people interact there and how they view clothing, fit pics etc.
Hope you’re well and thanks for sharing
Oh wow, thanks man. Weird to see my work in such great company. Weird in an excellent way. Cheers
Fascinating list Dennis. On your list I have read David Trinidad’s DIGGING TO WONDERLAND: MEMORY PIECES which is excellent. And the Cookie Mueller book as well, which is great. By coincendence, I’m expecting in the mail the new Ashbery and the memoir ALSO A POET: FRANK O’HARA, MY FATHER, AND ME. Bought them both at Skylight Books.
My choices:
Essays Two by Lydia Davis
Try Saying You’re Alive! by Kazuki Tomokawa
The Very Last Interviews by David Shields (NYRB)
Private Notebooks by Ludwig Wittgenstein (translated by Marjorie Perioff
Everybody Thought We Were Crazy by Mark Rozzo
The Cookie Mueller on your list
The David Trinidad on your list
Pin-ups 1972 by Peter Stanfield
And a book I super love is Martian Dawn and other Novels by Michael Friedman. You know this book!
Films:
I discovered the films of Richard Linklater, who I somehow missed throughout the decades. I love his work.
“Elvis” the film-bio which I think is great. (saw it in a theater, a must in theater or airplane)
“The Hole” by Tsai Ming-liang (on Criterion Channel)
Eagle Pennell films (on Criterion channel)
Ashes and Diamonds by Wadja
World on a Wire by Fassbinder
Music: Not new releases, but new to me:

Dennis, I’m seeing some books I need to get. And other things I need to see.
I’ve not really read/heard/seen anything new this year or that came out this year. Can’t think of a one. What, the new Dr. Strange movie? Idk.
Really, the office life isn’t as bad as people make it out to be. I understand the whole worker bee/drone stereotype and it can be that. But if you’re doing something you like, you work with good people, and the commute isn’t hellish, it can be quite fun. It’s like that where I am, except that the commute is hellish, which negates most of it. Otherwise, it IS fun to me.
But…I went over to see one coworker I’m quite close to. She was sat in her cubicle and I stood outside. We chatted for about 5 mins or so? First about something she wanted to work on (and later decided to do on her own without me, which was fine) and then a little “How are ya?” stuff. Then…she goes, “I wasn’t feeling so great this morning. Woke up with a scratchy throat.” I say, “You’ve probably got covid.” “Well, I took a test this morning and it was negative, so…”
That was Monday. She texted yesterday that she tested positive for the ‘ro yesterday. Thanks! Not.
Of course, you know me. I’m such a hypochondriac and so psychosomatic, that I’ve been feeling weird ever since. I took our last at-home test and it was negative. Still feel funny, though. I know it’s in my head, but still…WTF?
I’ll stop faking it eventually. And probably sooner rather than later. 😀

As for favs, Motomami by Rosalia is defo one of my top five albums of the year, Your book Closer is one of my fav books alongside Confessions of A Mask by Yukio Mishima, and movies? Idk I havent watched many movies, theres a couple of pornos that were cool but I really enjoyed House, the japanese horror film, as well as Fallen Angels, and Happy Together.
Let me know how u have been!
Lots of love
Ryan
D-
Let me get back to you, I’m too frazzled getting ready for a vacation to look up what came out when… but I will, in the meantime I look forward to exploring your list…
I’m heading to my homeland, the beaches of NJ. Been quite awhile.
Not 2022 related but I just read 2 books by Sarah Moss: The Ghost Wall and Summer Water and I would highly recommend them both. They are short and creepy and atmospheric and totally plausible.
See you soon, and know that I’m lurking around!
-L
hiiii dennis!! another fantastic list as expected. of course happy to see hunchback on there, both because chris is a friend and it’s one of my favorite books ever. i was really baked when the cover art for the new edition was revealed on twitter and was convinced i was having some stendhal-esque reaction to it. incredibly excited to read the latest from blake, elle, audrey and grant as well. in truth i’ve been horrible about reading this year period, to say nothing of keeping up on new releases (although i did make it to third world magicks and liked it quite a bit.) i have been spending most of my time fussing with equipment and getting back into record collecting. finding it fulfilling but i’ve also been inevitably retreating into the past.
that said! two things that have really struck me are joel potrykus’ short film ‘thing from the factory by the field’ and old nick’s “ghost o’clock” ep. both have a lot of levity which i have sort of needed lately. you might find more to like in the former but you never know.
hope you make it to nyc sometime soon! we’re clamoring for it! xoxo

Hey Dennis – Always nice to see these lists. I had no idea Blake Butler released a new novel. Is it in the vein of Alice Knott or something else again?
I’m far behind on my reading, finally starting Thomas Kendall’s book and just got a copy of the new James Greer. Looks like a number of interesting titles coming from And Other Stories. In terms of graphic novels, I dug the four volumes of Taiyo Matsumoto’s bizarro manga ‘No. 5.’
Musically, I’ll second the Destroyer and SY albums. Just got the new Matmos and been enjoying it so far. And I really want that new Carl Stone. Is it similar to his recent ones?
My other picks:
-Non Band ‘Non Band’ (reissue of great Japanese post-punk from 1982, on Bandcamp)
-Broadcast ‘Mother is the Milky Way’
-Elaine Radigue ‘Occam XXV’
-Wire ‘Not About to Die’
Interesting to see ‘Benediction’ on your list. I haven’t liked the past few Terrence Davies all that much (esp. the Emily Dickinson one). Is this a return to form?
I saw ‘Memoria’ last night which wouldn’t make any list of mine. I didn’t dislike it as much as you – there were scenes and moments I found engaging, but it seemed to add up to nada. Many of the same preoccupations about dream, shared memories, etc are in ‘Cemetery of Splendor,’ but I thought that was far more successful. Too many scenes in this felt bland to me, not charged by performance or narrative. And other times, it seemed to be trying too hard (spaceship, ghostly voiceovers).
My friend Ross who ran the Rivette site loved the movie & had a theory about how this was organized as little cells of narrative infecting each other like the disease Tilda’s character is studying. Which is an interesting idea, I just didn’t feel that.
What exactly didn’t work for you about the film?
Thank you Dennis, always an honor to be included on these lists that I love so much from you. Hunchback 88 was a trip. I haven’t read a lot from this year but many are on here; i also loved Police Lucifer, which i wish was longer, and sommer browning’s new book of poems. And I Wished was just so moving and exciting to finally read; it’s been staying close with me ever since. god i feel i have so much to say about it but hopefully we’ll end up in the same place soon enough again. big love to you as always my friend, sending good energy, b
Hey, Dennis,
Brian from several months ago here. I haven’t written in so long because of the schoolwork I was swamped with in April and May and the consequent crash in June, but I’ve been keeping up with the blog nearly every day and been delighted by everything you’ve shared, as always. Now hoping to resume my vocal locality on here after the lengthy trip away. I do hope all has been well with you?
Your 2022 list is much lengthier and more formidable than mine. I own a copy of “Liarmouth” (I was fortunate enough to get it personalized by John at a signing) but haven’t gotten around to it just yet—its inclusion here is another extremely good omen for when I do. In all honesty, the only 2022 thing I really feel strongly about so far, come to think of it, is Terence Davies’ “Benediction”, which I’m very glad to see included here. I’ve caught it three times in theaters this past month out of obsession. It is the single most emotionally affecting experience with a movie I can remember having in recent years, potentially since I was a child. (No-one has to go so far as that to think the film is the excellent piece of work it is, of course.) I’d be very curious as to your own thoughts on it. The rest of your list I will have to catch up with. Particularly Jane Schoenbrun’s film—my friends are absolutely wild about it.
As I said, I really hope the end of June finds you as well as you’ve ever been. All the best!
