I hope this turns into a series. Like a Crocodile Hunter style exploration of books in the wild as you encounter them. First impression + quick critical analysis + placement within the bestiary + trying to not get bit.
I'm curious about examples. Particularly arrogant vs confident book. But also back-patting blurb vs genuine endorsement. And the others.
I think you are onto something, re: creatureliness of books and what spontaneous noticings might reveal. I'm going to purchase some khaki shorts, if you know what I mean...
Hello Joe! As a person who is just about, any minute.. to try to even find a publisher--for this book I've been working on for many years.Thinking of how to get the book out in bookstores is probably a leap for me... but also a quiet relief to hear these words. And so glad you exist in the next to the next town over. Thanks for your service--kk (I like saying it: "multiverse.")
Katherine, I'm grateful you exist nearby too, and for your attention to the edges of memory and practice, the beginningness of things. I'll have my ear to the ground for this forthcoming book of yours.
Fascinating reflection. Thanks for sharing!
