#story | “The Mad People of Paris” by Rodrigo Blanco Calderón, via Southwest Review.#story | “Wild Milk” by Sabrina Orah Mark, via Tin House, link.#story | “Kairos, the Lucky Moment-and the Long Time That Follows” by Jenny Erpenbeck, via N+1.#story | “The Stuntman” by Rachel Cusk, via The New Yorker.Something I think everyone should read and feel FOMO not to: the latest story by Rachel Cusk: “The Stuntman”. My review of Ingeborg Bachmann’s “Kolmekümnes aasta” ( Thirtieth Year) will soon be available to Estonian readers. The prose writings of Kay Ryan and fiction by Ben Lerner are two new favorites. Recently, I’ve been drawn to non-fiction, mainly essays on literature, book reviews, etc. I may spend a period working on a short story or book review traveling to another city (in April, Brussels-Antwerp & Estonia) ambling around Paris and reading and feeling I am not being productive but so what, planning my leave from the city, the upcoming vacation in Southern France & Italy. It feels like more time has passed, possibly because these days, my life consists of small ephemeral periods, 3-4 days at a time. It’s been 1.5 months since the beginning of my non-work period.
“Truly, though our element is time / We are not suited to the long perspectives,” Philip Larkin wrote in the poem “Reference Back.”
