Gradually moving through Trigonometry, tennis, tornado, etc., the broom of civilization, and then Infinite Jest immense. (to be reviewed more from the gut than the head, but who knows when). I only know McCarthy's The Road and the epic The Border Trilogy (a Blood Meridian in the present?), of Bolaño 2666 one and two, waiting a year for the other. Cosmopolis is so far the most convincing of De Lillo for me. The debaserians read well! A new philosophical-literary circle after Urban Rituals!

no alternate tracks/alternate mix of the Velvet Underground no!
not even those of beloved Davis (of which I have everything) gave me an extra thrill.
good for completists, pure marketing on the skin and wallets of fans.

totally agree with PSYCHOPOMPE.
Do the petitions on Debaser matter?

Dear Saab, please be so kind as to provide me with suggestions for contemporary non-gonzo reading. Roberto Bolano and Foster Wallace, just to name a couple, are good?

No, it’s the sixth one. They’re not the Dream Theater, right?

"they represent the banquets painted by the artists of the seventeenth century, but the banquet we are involved in is the banquet of nausea." referring to the work of the Swiss artist Daniel Spoerri

The banality, amoral, ends up filling individual existences with emptiness. The tragedy of consumption is in discount stores and low-cost items, quantity at the expense of quality as long as it's consumable. Oldenburg's pop critique is almost touching, romantically defeated, it seems almost to belong (and indeed it does) to another century.

"Magical realism" (a term reinforced by Rushdie as magical realist) is the perfect synthesis of much literature not only from South America (Kundera, Bulgakov), intriguing and "lyrical" the review.
The pairing of Karma and One Hundred Years of Solitude is beautiful. (nick-nomen omen)

Brian Eno captures well the "seminal" importance of the Velvet Underground when he recalls that their records didn't sell much, yet those who bought them soon formed a band. A nice review from a critic who likes to show that he knows a lot :) a bit of humility in the face of such a rock "archetype."

Original idea, well-matched characters, yet inevitably repetitive, despite such a production it seems to me that the photography is quite neglected, the pacing of the narrative is didactic... I prefer CSI Miami (Horatio Caine is a perfect cartoon character)... much more exciting is The Number Devil by H.M. Enzensberger. Have a good weekend.
