Public Library 5.8
Additions to the library this time are strictly – strictly – literary.
Nixon’s obituary by Hunter S. Thompson from 1994. There were so many lead-ins from the article that I wanted to use, most of which included the word ’scum’. Here is the one I settled for: “You don’t even have to know who Richard Nixon was to be a victim of his ugly, Nazi spirit.”
Fizzle 4 by Samuel Beckett.
The Haunter of the Dark by H.P. Lovecraft. For any Lovecraft craft lovers.
Eeldrop and Appleplex by T.S. Eliot. Eliot’s only piece of published adult fiction.
The House of Asterion by J.L. Borges. A personal favourite.
Scans of David Foster Wallace’s annotated ‘Irrelevant Bob’ manuscript: page 1 and page 2. Straight from The New Yorker.
