Excellent idea. USA.
The short stories of Carver, Larry Brown, Richard Ford. Just sad drunks trying to make some magic. No grand theories or politics. Only beautiful American desolation. You can't go wrong.
I wanted to leave Miami when I was younger because it didn't have much mainstream American "culture." Now it's the main reason I'll never leave. The place is immune to cultural happenings--a truly disconnected populace.
It's always refreshing to read a writer who's not part of the "culture" or a scene. Just someone writing about their interests and not responding to anyone or anything. It's quaint and nice.
It's so obvious when a writer is pulling his punches. Lots of books are branded as edgy when it's really just a writer throwing acceptable jabs and then people pretending they've been hit with a haymaker. Publishing really is like pro wrestling--everybody's in on it.
Coffee shop playing Jeff Buckley covering Dylan. Productivity plummeting after every song. Too wistful. Should be illegal.
Literary men are so well behaved. Tranquil and docile, irrelevant. The good boy era. It's almost nice.
When someone asks me to recommend a Dylan album, my usual recommendation is: Daytime album: Love and Theft Nighttime album: Time Out of Mind What do you usually recommend to a Dylan newbie?

@Perez_Writes That sounds like something Richard Brautigan could have written. I’d be stunned if somebody didn’t write that novel in the 60s.

My @aksubversive conversation this week features the lovely Circe @vocalcry, and we discuss our arrival at this strange crossroads of love and hate called 2024.
@Perez_Writes I attended community college and my first novel is a slacker novel—I have fond memory of speaking at the college and a male student came up to tell me he felt represented by how I depicted two guys playing video games in my novel 😂
A bit of professional news today. I’m extremely honored and excited to take the wheel at L&L, with gratitude to @Reinsch84 and @briansmith1980, for all they’ve done to build it into such a great magazine.
Beginning today, @JohnGGrove1 will take over as Editor of Law & Liberty. John has been part of the Law & Liberty team since 2020, most recently as Managing Editor.

@Perez_Writes IIRC the protagonist of Kenzaburo Oe's "A Personal Matter" teaches at a community college, or the Japanese equivalent. And is def checked out.
@Perez_Writes That actually would make for a great novel. Though part of the problem a CC poses here is that the classic campus novel derives its humor from the gap between the pretensions of academia and the reality.
