Emanuele Cavalli - Il solitario (1936)

i really liked this essay on why literary fiction is sounding so much Like That these days, especially work by asian american authors:

This entire process selects for homework-doers, personal entrepreneurs, and individualistic bureaucrats. It's why, like I said, the oracular outsiders, the Pauls of the world, who can't conform to society's expectations to check boxes and become legible to the powers that be, aren't in these programs and aren't getting the opportunities that are downstream of them. It's why you end up with tons of fiction about "my white boyfriend" and "everyone online is mad at me" or "anxious strivers in NYC" or "my annoying polycule." These are the obstacles this class encounters. You can't spend time, like Cormac McCarthy did, living in an unheated cabin in the Smokies, or embedding with the Mujahideen like William T. Vollman, or working as a psychotherapist like Olga Tokarczuk. You must move from strength to strength, always turning in your homework on time, and certainly never suffering a psychotic break.

-- Trip, Estragon News, The Oracular Outsiders and the Homework Doers

i quite liked the conclusion to the piece:

Maybe it's because that fiction is being written for the people already bought in. Art that is made for the purpose of institutional legibility and approval is dead on arrival. Writing must stand on the outside, viewing the world at a tilt. Our world is being eaten by word machines that can imitate us perfectly. Unless American letters find the courage to welcome back in the oracular, it will disappear, replaced by machine that can conform to the demands of institutional legibility—really, the demands of capital—better than any human ever could.

#the racism/sexism of this piece is interesting 2 me #an asian american woman author as an example of the privileged bland and unserious as opposed to the 'oracular' and real #of a vollmann or mccarthy or 'paul'#'privately educated women' vs. 'hipsters and bohemians'#like why can't we all live and write like vollmann? why is that?#why do different groups of people have access to different kinds of cultural 'legibility' (!) and recognition?#everyone go read Criminals by ben masaoka

“So basically I have a death wish. I’ve heard that before.” “The abyss isn’t death. That’s just a fable God made up to keep us away from the truth. Maybe you’re just drawn to what other people fear. That probably makes you more alive.”

#i love how intentional every billboard every ad every piece of physical branding or marketing is in the world of lodge 49 #like in the back office of shamroxx when you see their generic restaurant supplies are omni brand #what if all this fake meaningless detritus humming along in the background of our days /meant/ something?#what if everything meant something?#even--especially--the stupid boring shit you do all day at your restaurant or pool cleaning or plumbing parts job #listening to your dad's weird ex try to sell you on her MLM #getting stoned with your coworkers at the house one of them's squatting in #it's all real and the time you got too high and thought you opened a door into antarctica--that was real too #lodge 49
