KYIV ETERNAL – Heinali
Haunting and powerful release on the first anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine: correctly or in–, Basinski’s DISINTEGRATION LOOPS sprung to mind; beautiful – pairs well with the artist’s October 2022 release, LIVE FROM A BOMB SHELTER IN UKRAINE.
Need: Mezco Toyz One:12 SHADOW. Will pre-order as soon as I can. 🤤

CITY OF GLASS (Auster, 1985)
First of three in Auster's collected NEW YORK TRILOGY: a certain affinity with / understanding of Quinn's plight – like the fictional Auster, I would have done the same thing as Quinn, especially in those periods of post-project / post-life ennui. While an incalculable number have attempted to elevate the detective novel to literary prominence, few have risen above their own pretensions: Auster nails it and then some. One of my favorite books from one of my favorite writers. Will return to the trilogy for GHOSTS, the second, after chipping away at the to-read stack a bit more: wonderful way to transition between books.
