Denis Johnson's "Sway" is a favorite for the way it opens so awkwardly, archaically, then going wobbly like a bar stool. 'heir bones the bones of' end-rhyming 'hyena/arena' just to careen into that 'tarantellasmic sway' and destroy us with those doublings after the colon: two.
I've been reading through, skipping, jumping back, rereading, hopping around the Ross Benjamin translation of Kafka's diaries for the last couple of months now like a drunken flea. But at least it hasn't put me in the hospital. Hope you're feeling better Chris.

I spent all of March in hospital, much of it in Kafka’s mysterious, troubled, frustrated and fascinating company. Here’s my review of his unexpurgated Diaries theguardian.com/books/2024/apr…
for the new(ish) April issue of @Lit_Review I commissioned a number of pieces, including Deborah Levy on Bowie, Rosa Lyster on creative non-fiction, @JonSavage1966 on Pulp, @mjohnharrison on Oyamada, @rwilliams1947 on Kind of Blue, @chris_power on HGarner literaryreview.co.uk/current-issue/…

I first came to work here on 17th October, 1979. Today was my last as a member of The BBC’s staff. It has been a great adventure and it’s not, I hope, all over. I aim to keep making radio and other audio.
In which The Alternatives is described as ‘brilliant, brainy … best novel yet’ and compared to Anne Enright and Brian Friel. 💀 Thank you @RuthGilligan for this gorgeous reading of the book for @GuardianBooks @OneworldNews @riverheadbooks theguardian.com/books/2024/apr…
I've been reading through, skipping, jumping back, rereading, hopping around the Ross Benjamin translation of Kafka's diaries for the last couple of months now like a drunken flea. But at least it hasn't put me in the hospital. Hope you're feeling better Chris.
I spent all of March in hospital, much of it in Kafka’s mysterious, troubled, frustrated and fascinating company. Here’s my review of his unexpurgated Diaries theguardian.com/books/2024/apr…
'Brilliant' Natasha Brown 'I enjoyed it hugely' David Nicholls 'An acid chamber piece. I loved it' Chris Power 'A sharp book, beautifully written' Rumaan Alam 'A perfect and perfectly merciless novel' Sarah Bernstein I am so proud to publish @jo_hamya's #TheHypocrite today!
"The brilliance of the story is to allow both things to be simultaneously true." --@chris_power signature clarity brought to bear on a restored edition of Kafka's diaries, tr Ross Benjamin. theguardian.com/books/2024/apr…
@chris_power I'm sticking that sentence on the wall as a generalised recommendation.
@chris_power Chris, I'm so sorry you've been in hospital, awful. How you've written this under the circumstances I don't know, but my god it's good, that's one copy sold to me. (the line about the tourist's leg?! Kafka!!! CooEE)
Shit, if only they’d have moved like that when my son was being murdered. But what do I expect….1 AR-15 keeps 376 officers at bay.
DPS appears to be prepping to disperse with a heavy, heavy showing of DPS troopers prepped in riot gear.
@chris_power I am so sorry about the hospital stay. They are complex spaces. I hope you are healing x
‘the protests are robbing my Columbia students of listening to John Cage’s 4’33, the piece of music that is explicitly designed to force you to listen to…what’s around you.’ absolutely perfect
Speaking at today's PMQs @MhairiBlack challenged Oliver Dowden on mass graves in Gaza constituting 'war crimes'
@chris_power Nothing cheers you up like Kafka… “At least I’m not Kafka”….
"Disturbing reports continue to emerge about mass graves in Gaza in which Palestinian victims were reportedly stripped naked with their hands tied, prompting renewed concerns about possible war crimes." --A new UN statement news.un.org/en/story/2024/…
Calling in police enforcement on nonviolent demonstrations of young students on campus is an escalatory, reckless, and dangerous act. It represents a heinous failure of leadership that puts people’s lives at risk. I condemn it in the strongest possible terms.
@chris_power Brilliant Chris, and what you give out of your own suffering
