The mailing list

I'm a big fan of RSS for keeping track of my favorite sites, but since not everyone uses RSS, I still send out notifications via the old email list. I only send notifications for the posts I consider good, which makes it a very low traffic announcement list. Still, if you'd like to get updates via email, feel free to fill out the info to the left and I'll add you to the list.

Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges
cover image for Ficciones My first hands on with Borges... Absolutely amazing. So far beyond what I've been reading lately (mainly non-fiction and some late 20th century authors). As with Faulkner, I find it shocking that I was given an undergraduate degree in English without having read Borges. That simply should not be allowed. Everything I was expecting and so much more. If, like me, you know Borges through his myth rather than his words, this is a fine place to start. And rest assured, the myths are nothing next to the real thing. more »
