I’m reading The Great Man, by Kate Christensen.
It’s about postmodern things like authorship, and
unreliable narrators. Multiple points of view. Rashomon.
The great man had a mistress and a sister who was a painter too.
It’s about gourmet cooking, and fashion. The
Book publishing. Academics. Peripherally. Aren’t academics
peripheral to everything? Isn’t book publishing about fashion?
Isn’t cooking contrived, and entirely too busy?
I called a writer Corybantic Minceur.
Prissy dancer. The genus of the pelagic fish,
the dolphin (not the mammal, the porpoise),
is Coryphaena, the leader of the chorus.
In
Cube, dredge in water-ground
cornmeal (
and deep-fry, quickly, until just brown.
Not the same as pond-raised tilapia (Asian grouper).
