#three-month fever

[hardtoreadings]

Ready-to-read’s inaugural Prefall 2017 collection will be exiting the store floor soon to make way for Resort 2018. Last chance to get Gary Indiana’s Three-Month Fever, back issues of Grand Street magazine, and Juliana Huxtable’s Mucus in my Pineal Gland, among other titles.

Everyone I’ve known, myself included, who has been reported on by mainstream press has felt the raging sting of misrepresentation. Mislaid, mistake, mistreat, misquote, misogynistic, miserable, mischief! Of course, all representation will be missing more than we can know. The problem with mainstream press is it acts like that’s not what’s up. Having met many of those responsible for it, 'journalists,' I don’t think they get it, Language? Ethics? Subjectivity? Infinity? Reality? which is crazy dangerous. [...] I often wish, and sometimes declare, 'I’ll never write again,' but end up here again and again, because language is powerful and used recklessly by assholes. We can’t let them win. I get it, how: one can get so entranced by the sounds of words ... 'Andrew Cunanan was an American dreamer—fabulously pretentious and violently fetishistic, a voracious, Young-Girl-ish consumer; shoplifting, prescription drug flipping, and sugar babying, a debtor, not unlike most of my Millennial girlfriends…' You forget they’re pointing at real people.
