Public Library 13.11

Borges on the Couch by David Foster Wallace. One of my favourite authors reviews the biography of my other favourite author – and nails it. From the NY Times.

In Retreat. Malcolm Knox on the future of gentlemen’s clubs, from The Monthly.

‘We Like Lists Because We Don’t Want to Die’. Umberto Eco interviewed in Spiegel Online.

T.S. Eliot Paris Review interview. From 1959. “I wonder what an “intention” means! One wants to get something off one’s chest. One doesn’t know quite what it is that one wants to get off the chest until one’s got it off. But I couldn’t apply the word “intention” positively to any of my poems. Or to any poem.”
