Book Reading and Other Contact Sports
October 15th, 2006
I went to the Twin Cities Book Festival yesterday. There was a nice crowd and lots of small publishers and retailers including my local haunts Big Brain Comics and Micawbers Books. I went to see a reading by Mark Z. Danielewski. I’ve been struggling with his new book which comes off more as Beat Poetry or the 60’s experimental verse of Ishmael Reed then as text in a fictional story.
After listening to the question and answer period things are a little more clear. The 2 characters are forever 16 years old and forever in love. They are experiencing events together at different times in history. I will read on.
