Pied Piper story

On the way to the airport it occurred to me that the Pied Piper story was not essentially one of revenge but of love.

Dragon Ball

Anime clips from Dragon Ball were looping on the TV screens.

Death Note 7

flipping backwards through Death Note 7, trying to make sense of the graphics: a black menace hovering over the boy Light sifting through pages of intermittent numerical sequences.

The Children’s Crusade

The sign was silent, but the books on my night table beckoned. The Children’s Crusade.

The Colossus

The Children’s Crusade. The Colossus. Marcus Aurelius.

Meditations

Marcus Aurelius. I opened his Meditations: Do not act as if you had ten thousand years to live…

Beckett play

—We’ve become a Beckett play, Sam says good-naturedly. I imagine us rooted in our place at the kitchen table, each of us dwelling in a barrel with a tin lid, we wake up and poke out our heads and sit before our coffee and peanut‐butter toast waiting until the sun rises, plotting as if we are alone, not alone together but each alone, not disturbing the aura of the other’s aloneness. —Yep, a Beckett play, he repeats.

Bolaño’s games

I spent hours but had no luck locating the photograph I had promised Ernest—the games of Roberto Bolaño.

Book on the Ghent Altarpiece

Come, he commanded softly, and just like that I packed a rain jacket, flannel shirt, some socks and a small but profusely illustrated book on the Ghent Altarpiece.

Rip Van Winkle

I wished I could sleep until it was over, a Rip Van Winkle kind of sleep.

The Death of Virgil

I sat there coughing with a small mound of sticky tissues and thought of Hermann Broch mapping out The Death of Virgil in his head while confined in prison.

2666

I just sat down at the table and wandered into the conversation, the one about 2666, the one covering the dog races in St. Petersburg.

Heart of Darkness

—No truth in what? —That it’s just a redo of Heart of Darkness.

The Part About the Critics

Sighing, I opened the sack and pulled out a beat-up paperback, the English translation of The Part About the Critics, obsessively notated in Spanish.

The Part About the Critics

The brown paper bag containing the worn copy of The Part About the Critics.
