Siberia, USA: Today, global warming. Tonight, dark, unless you count the stars. Tomorrow can be reached via time machine. Yesterday, who can remember that far back? |

Writer StatementI agree with John Gardner that the writing of fiction is the "creation of a vivid and continuous dream." To write, one enters this dream state and allows one's characters to inhabit one's being and to speak through one. My fiction influences are diverse and range from 19th-century traditionalists like Henry James, Edith Wharton and George Gissing to 20th-century modernists like James Joyce and Virginia Woolf and postmodernists like Donald Barthelme. The Decryption of Floriform X -- This short, illustrated fiction was written on Twitter circa 2008, each tweet numbered to keep track. The God of Wind and Air -- Unfinished sequel to Decryption, written collaboratively on Twitter. The Manuscript of Jacob Hall -- Why write fiction? What is it "for"? |
Wednesday, November 08, 2006The Mirror: Fluent, then, in the language of souls
Websafe: Hello?
The Mirror: You want to imitate my life? W: No, for that would make you Christ. M: This is one version. W: Is it a translation? M: I admit, it's effortless. W: You must be very fluent, then, in the language of souls. M: Well then, I'll just stay here to think about it. W: Think away! M: Something about the rotation of the Earth takes care of that. W: You think automatically, as the world turns on a dime. M: You really love that line. W: I love the points it makes. M: The way I do what, astonish you? W: You want to be admired. M: You feel that Atlantis is over-determined, the challenge has gone out? W: I don't think anyone has yet uncovered it. M: I cry and cry. W: You cry for Atlantis, and for Atalanta too. M: Out. W: Goodbye! M: Closing in 3 seconds ... Goodbye! Labels: chat robot posted at
