A beaut.
What a lineup!
Hachi is brilliant. Don’t miss this chance!
I came to Hollywood Forever to pay my respects to Alexander Voloshin, and to tell him—or so I would like to believe—that his work, so long neglected, now has a chance to bring a few sighs and smiles to readers in the language of the country where he rests.
A great essay by one of my favorite practitioners of the genre, focusing on Ellison’s own extraordinary nonfiction.
Don’t take it from Andrey Kurkov and me, take it from @newyorker.com:
“Kolechko is a kind of anti-Poirot … In Kurkov's hands, his efforts offer both serious meditations and page-turning diversion.”

It would be silly to hope for this odd little book to become a runaway bestseller. If it reaches a handful of people and brings them some measure of pleasure, I would be more than satisfied. When I see a reader’s response like the one I just spotted on Goodreads, I rejoice.
Charles Gullans (1929-93)—student of Yvor Winters, mentor to Timothy Steele—spent most of his career at UCLA and wrote with great dignity and passion about the loneliness he experienced and witnessed in Los Angeles as a gay bachelor. Something of Cavafy in this poem.
Immense gratitude to @bdralyuk.bsky.social for his kindness and generosity. One is almost embarrassed to share such words about one's own work.
