    reading up on Boris Vian ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Vian) after enjoying his very surreal story, “The Dead Fish.” What a way to go out mad!

    wikipedia screenshot: DeathOn the morning of 23 June 1959, Vian was at the Cinéma Marbeuf for the screening of the film version of I will Spit on Your Graves. He had already fought with the producers over their interpretation of his work, and he publicly denounced the film, stating that he wished to have his name removed from the credits. A few minutes after the film began, he reportedly blurted out: "These guys are supposed to be American? My ass!" He then collapsed into his seat and died from sudden cardiac death on his way to the hospital.

  3. In a world, where two movies come out around the same time, and every single person on earth seems to notice for some reason almost as if they were directly participating in a coordinated marketing campaign for one or the other or both movies, idk idk, ahem, ahem. every poster, must fight to survive

  4. Exactly one block of this otherwise lovely ride was dumb enough for a car (perhaps London Breed herself!) to honk at me.

    assuming tenth-of-a-mile blocks, punters have about a 0.00043% chance of guessing which one it was!

  7. Fifteen: Egan again. I knew I’d have a 10 hours of plane time, so I brought “Oceanic” ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6741362-oceanic) and it delivered.

    OceanicCollected together here for the first time are twelve s…Goodreads

    Egan’s political and hard science (the bulk of this set) stories are my favorites while the atheist ones like the title story “Oceanic” are probably more interesting to previously religious people, which I never was. I’ve always found faith to be entirely inscrutable, so exploring losing it is kinda just more of that to me?

  8. Introduced to Amos Tutuola’s “The Complete Gentleman” ( https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/11169484-the-complete-gentleman) via “Black Water 2.” Tutuola’s novel “My Life in the Bush of Ghosts” is what Brian Eno and David Byrne’s 1981 album is named after, which i did not know about and now would like to read.
