Fabulous

ateolf: (The Metamorphosis)
Yesterday I finished reading Fable by Robert Pinget. It's a really short one but it was also a pretty difficult one. (I dunno if it's "payback" for me recently posting that Dinesen quote about it being good to only understand half of a story, hah.) It was really good though. It's much more obtuse than the other stuff of his I've read, though it does a sort of The Sound and the Fury thing where it presents this confused state for most of it and then in the end it settles down into a more normal style (or at least the type of descriptive style I've read in the other Pinget books, the style in-and-of-itself isn't like Faulkner, just that sort of effect). It felt a bit more out-there than the other books of his I'd read too. At night we did a practice run for Friday's upcoming streaming concert. More people had issues this time than the last time so it's good we started the testing a little earlier. Think we're working through them! Other than that, Mary Beth and I watched a little bit of Daria last night and now it's morning so I should be back to work.
