A book of short fiction called BRUTES written by Bill Whitten of St. Johnny, Grand Mal & William Carlos Whitten is out now on Too Big to Fail Press
Manuel Marrero (founder of Expat Press/author) extols BRUTES: "Bill Whitten's sentences enter you with painful clarity before you've realized what hit you. These are stories that were waiting to be written and eventually read. Whitten is a writer transcribing gravity. He lets you freefall to meet the moment on dyadic terms, that of the story's and the reader's emotional infrastructure. BRUTES is a cudgel working the midsection, a slow burner that incandesces effulgently and often, never letting you forget that you're on fire, where other books never let you forget you're reading them.
"Mishka Shubaly calls BRUTES: “Savage and tender, elegant and depraved, caustic and yearning, Whitten’s prose is a bloody straight razor wrapped in a silk pocket square.”

from BRUTES: There was a pay-phone on W. 23rd Street. His friends told him about it, they all used it. You dropped a quarter in the slot, it fell through the machine and landed in the coin-return. Yet, miraculously the phone registered a credit. With one quarter - dropping again and again through the apparatus - a person was able to call anywhere in the world for free. Whenever such a pay-phone was discovered, its location was guarded with scrupulous care (like a secret imparted from father to son) and discreetly transmitted to select dishwashers, porters, janitors, grad-students, furniture movers, bike messengers. Often there would be a line of people waiting to use one of those singular telephones. The devices were proof that there was no uncultivated ground in the universe; nothing was truly barren or dead. It was at the pay-phone on W. 23rd that Arnal last spoke to his grandmother in Zakynthos. The quarter must have fallen through the machine two hundred times. As his giagiá repeated the legend that a likeness of Christ had first been rendered by Pilate, her voice warped into arias of dense telephonic distortion. It had been an evening like so many others, pushed and pulled at by errant ripples of time. He’d been too poor to buy a plane ticket to attend her funeral. Since he’d been run over and remade into the person he was meant to be, he could, at last, afford to pay his respects to her. But there was no hurry. The past and future were connected in the same way ‘here’ was to ‘there’.

translated to english: I bought three cassettes in recent years. Or actually I only bought one, very recently. Burn My Letters by William Carlos Whitten. Issued on a real cassette label, I Heart Noise from Boston, Massachusetts. The other two cassettes were bycatch, one with an Enablers LP and one accompanied the CD The Rarity Of Experience by Chris Forsyth & The Solar Motel Band. The cassette is back. And although things will not go as smoothly as with the LP, take a look at the De Bandjesfabriek website and be amazed by the loving and beautiful work that Thomas Baur is doing there. Burn My Letters is still untouched in plastic. The download is sufficient, but to be honest I would have preferred to put a CD in the closet, in addition to that of Grand Mal, the band with which Bill Whitten has made some beautiful albums since the end of the twentieth century. The highlight was Bad Timing (2003). The last two, Congratulations You've Re-Joined The Human Race (2007) and Clandestine Songs (2010) actually appeared on the Swedish Groover Recordings. Bill Whitten was once in St. Johnny, just like Grashopper from Mercury Rev. While Dave Fridmann often had a hand in the production and recording of Grand Mal albums. Sometimes we also come across Joan Wasser. Or Parker Kindred, which can also be heard on Burn My Letters. In addition to Brad Truax (Home, Interpol, Jah Division, Soldiers of Fortune), Justin Russo (Hopewell, Mercury Rev, The Silent League) and John Rauchenberger (August Wells). Who is Bill Whitten? I once saw a photo of his Christmas gifts on a blog that was no longer worded. One of the books in the stack was written by Giorgio Agamben. I think I hear the thoughts of the philosopher in his music. These days he earns his money as a limousine driver. He rarely leaves New York. He recorded Burn My Letters in a friend's apartment, he used his recording equipment and his musical friends. Who are also his musical friends, of course. He looks like his father, a man with a militant past, who emigrated to America, went to study philosophy and married a Catholic woman. Burn My Letters knows the sound of rippling air and clouded water.

In fact, the brilliance here should be glorified way beyond the indie-pop kingdom they live within

Bill Whitten's 'Burn My Letters' is a brief glimpse into a deep, one-sided obsession and a tense and nihilistic treat. Featuring queasy, off-key keyboards, Sonic Youth guitar chords, Bill Whitten’s deep drawl and an inherent sense of threat.
