The Demon at Agi Bridge and Other Japanese Tales

Japanese folk tales from circa 1000 years ago, entertaining stuff, with a really good translation. Massively sexist though.

Wow, what a piece of crap. An interesting piece of crap, but a piece of crap nonetheless.
Does anyone have more familiarity with some of Lessing's other work and can convince me that she is an author worth digging into?

pony · 04.02.2014, 07:02 AM

readings for my train rides tomorrow and friday:

The Golden Notebooks was a strong novel I read back in college in the 80s'

Pony my dear, do you ever read books that weren't assigned to you in your womens' studies class? You know, like for fun?

dead_battery · 04.02.2014, 10:39 AM

airless spaces was assigned to the board by me in my review thread.

and its one of the least fun books ever written

pony · 04.02.2014, 10:52 AM

it wasn't assigned by me by anyone. I will read that for fun. :/
the last WHOLE book I read for class was a Kathy Acker book. Blood and Guts in High School that was. The rest of her work I had to read I happily skipped.

PLUS, this semester I am in NO women's studies class. unbelievable, right?

I want to read all semiotext(e) releases, but I wanna start with the fun ones.

dead_battery · 04.02.2014, 11:04 AM

it's the best out of the semiotexte intervention series, but "fun" is not a word i'd typically associate with it, although my copy lies next to my pillow and is faded and dog eared from so many read throughs.

preliminary materials for the theory of the young girl is the one i think you'd appreciate the most. kim gordon herself has read and enjoyed it.

pony · 04.02.2014, 11:08 AM

already read preliminary materials! I liked it, yes!

will check out the agony of power as soon as I have money again and report back! you having it next to your pillow makes me want to read it

dead_battery · 04.02.2014, 11:20 AM

its a wonderful text. check the amazon review.

You must spread some reputation around before giving it to pony again.

Fuck the fuck what fucking !@#$%! says about this author, you simply have to read Octavio Paz before reading any other exegeses on power and authority, TRUST ME. A poet and a Mexican at that is the most articulate at expressing those otherwise intuitively inexpressible political musings. If somehow dead_battery hasn't read it, his Nihilist ass needs to read it even more than you!

I just got these bad boys from the Ebay, for only $26 total! what a steal! My Joel Peter Witkin collection grows! I already have two copies of Gods of Earth & Heaven, one signed!

Rob Instigator · 04.03.2014, 08:49 AM

Both first pressings by the way!
