Dear (Molskine) Diary...
586939
I've been using nothing but these Moleskine Cahier ruled journals for years now, for my diaries. They are slim, flexible and durable---easily fitting in pockets, handbags, backpacks, etc. As a compulsive journal writer, I never go anywhere without one. I love writing outdoors and find the paper shade (natural or "bone") easier on the eyes than bright-white. These journals will open nice & totally flat without damaging the sewn binding in the least, and the rounded corners of front & back covers and pages never curl or become dog-eared. I use the last perforated pages mainly for phone numbers, email addresses, various notes, doodles and lists. The semi-pocket inside the back cover ends up stuffed with shopping lists, coupons, business cards, pressed leaves, etc. I use up about one every 3 months, so I need about 4 per year. I print off and laminate my own digital art/photographs for the covers. For the quality you get here, I think they are a pretty good deal!

I hope to read about the further adventures of Marten Kluge in the future.  There is still so much for him to do.  After all, he must completely destroy socialism and I'm sure that there are many Highborn left.  Yes?  Keep writing and I will be looking forward to Doom Star 8!

...including my email address! Never before have I read anything so goddamn amazing - I've always liked writing my own stuff, but now I am determined to get something published! And OK, so he wasn't exactly the  nicest person (well, vampire) imaginable, but how could they let Zillah  die? If you haven't already read it, get a copy of "Exquisite  Corpse" - also amazing! And other Poppy fans - please email me!

I haven't read the book yet but I do want to get in touch with the author, Penny Gouk. We were at university together and I am putting together a newsletter for all those of us in her year. Please ask her to contact me  on: MWaller@compuserve.com

I have begun the reading of the book. Before all tanks to the author for the new book on Toscanini.
But I have to say ( I arrived  in the reading only to Rio Janeiro 1886) that there are already some mistakes.
It would be my pleasure to tell these mistakes directly to the author, if it possible to have contacts with him.

There are 124 letters here both in German and Italian with a comprehensive Introduction by Angela Ida De Benedictis and Ulrich Mosch; they set the context for this correspondence between two working lives as composers, travelers, making opportunities for themselves for their work throughout Europa. . . .there are also 3 Appendici one 19 letters from Lachenmann to others in music as: Pousseur,Karkoschka,Maderna,Wm. Glock,publishers and agents.

The diagonals within the creative life are often anxiety-ridden,horrific, many unknowns permeate the composer's existence,much boredom, on basically where will the acceptance of one's work within a larger context take place. How long must I wait to be accepted? and What do I need to do to get where I need be?

While you study composition you are first only interested in results with your teacher, you try to have a great agenda for complexity, structural vigor, conceptual fluidity, and that primordial something that makes you work compelling. If you keep this in mind these Letters are quite interesting;
 For Nono it was the politics of the times that compelled him to "Go forward" to move, the Algerian War, The Vietnam War, Hiroshima and the Resistance in WW2,still quite fresh vivid subjects in post-war Europa. Lachenmann had this experience as well ten years younger, he kept his politics at a distance, it wasn't necessary for him, he wanted to see where tradition might inform his work, whereas Nono was always looking toward some innovative paradigm that might unleash his work into regions he only partially could understand; there are always unknowns he craved. . .

Lachenmann was Luigi Nono's first student in Venice, they had met at the Summer Courses in Darmstadt, as many met. The wonderful aspect of this relationship was that it was lifelong, the correspondence here is from 1957 to 1990,(Nono had died in May,1990);So these Letters go well into the last maturities of each composer, both finding a compelling voice. . .

What is often discussed is quite commonplace: people,places,events and things, travels, and where a performance of a work may or may not take place. . . Composers are often boring creatures because that is really what they enjoy talking about the most, where their work will be performed and all the details surrounding the performance.

Lachenmann found his creative voice quite late, not really till the Eighties had his work awakened on what we may call an enduring longevity,one where timbres move from place to place. It finally culminated in his fascinating opera, "The Little Match Seller";
Nono found his voice quite early, post-Webern-esque(Fifties) morphing into an incredible intensity of cluster chords,deployed over a spectrum(Seventies)with his affinity for Marxism informing his work in a very real way and all the imagery he utilized. It was a political spectrum a paradigm he continued to develop. . .
But then his latter period beginning the the late Seventies to 1990, where he began again with his austere timbral, threadbare ontology,incredible abstract. . .This was the last ten years of his life and culminated with his "Prometeo" for which there are a few pages given over to it. . .

You come away from reading these Letters that something moves;"Eppur si muove" what Galileo said in 1633 after recanting before the Inquisition; We always have movement, motion,responses,we travel, and think and speak within human diagonals, within relationships, it is a process of knowledge,of illumination and of failing.

I enjoyed your novel. Lots of engrossing moments. I found a number of spelling and grammatical issues. Where shall I send them? My email is f.gucciardo@cox.net.

I would just say "thank you" but surely more words of gratitude & appreciation are required. I'll still start with thanks though: for making a week visiting with the family (mom & sis: love 'em to death but could kill them sometimes) much more agreeable than it would have been without Marie & Matt's heartfelt story. Thanks for the "deplorables", the "close but unseen onion", the news from the rest of the gang, the slow growth & burn, the permanent smile on my face, the anticipation, the truth, the sweetness, the sexiness, the cleverness of your book. I'm standing in a ridiculously long line in customs waiting for my passport to be vouched after 8 hours of flight, but my smile hasn't waivered... Thank you, Mrs. Reid <3

Dear C.L. Hoang,

Thank you so much for a beautiful, passionate and magnificent work of art.

The best 40 Ans Apres gift to our class of Marie Curie 1974. I just finished it last night, crying my heart out over thirty pages from page 308 onward. I cherish every single vivid scene unfolding under your masterful pen. Every page is a treat. I read every single word carefully, in awe of the arduous labour you put in crafting them. Once Upon a Mulberry Field has dethroned Sebastian Faulks's Birdsong, my all-time favourite, which I had thought unsurpassed as a love and war book. In some sparse, deeply moving concluding pages, you managed to capture, with originality, the very essence of what Marilynne Robinson attempted in Gilead, if not even better. To echo Minh Triet and Thanh Son, the writing is simply superb, and not only do I really like your book, I really, really love your book, C.L. Hoang. It's a book (for us and upcoming generations alike) to marvel at for years to come. I will do all my best to promote it to a wider audience. It deserves translation into several languages: French as the top priority, so our francophone friends would not miss out on it.

C.L. Hoang, I am so proud, and so honoured, to have you bear witness to our unique common past, with so much grace, sensibility, humbleness, and luminosity. I can't wait to enjoy your next book.

I am going to order several copies as gifts to my children, friends and relatives.

Sis will be visiting me on my birthday. Over the phone, I bragged to her that, since she last saw me, some time ago, I have taken an interest in puttering around in the garden, interior-decorating my bachelor's quarters, and cleansing the bathroom. Speaking of the latter, on the inside of the bathroom door, which one faces, head on, when seated on the throne, I have posted this "Winter Cabin" scene. I think she'll like it. I hope so. UPDATE: She did.

Genau warum ich die Musik Reiner Kirsten gerne hre.  Ich wollte die CD zuerst von drben bestellen, aber ich fand es sogar hier bei der Ami-Amazon per download billiger.  Wie immer, wenn ich deutsche Schlager hre, ist es fr mich echt ein Stck der Heimat!  Ich dieses Album Ihnen empfehlen.

Das Buch hat so viele interessante Geschichten von der Nachkriegszeit!
 Ich habe lachen muessen, fast geweint oft, aber trotz allen auch viel gelernt von Berlin und der damaligen Zeit. Ich finde es ausgezeichnet, und Jutta Daniels erinnert bestimmt viele Andere an diese tumulte Zeit. Es erweckt Erinnerungen fuer Menschen, die das mitgelebt haben! Fuer die Juengeren ist es auch  eine interessante Erzaehlung. Was haben Kinder und Erwachsene damals alles mitmachen muessen. Was haben sie oft in ihrer Not erfunden!
Es ist ein sehr gutes Buch!

bonjour
Archos devrait avoir honte d'avoir un SAV aussi incomptent. Ma tablette archos 101 g9 250 go tombe en panne apres seulement 6 mois. je l'a renvoie au SAV (8 euros  mes frais, passons). Aucune nouvelle   ce jour. Pourtant j'ai telephon plusieurs fois, ils m'ont rpondu qu'ils ne peuvent rien faire d'autre que moi...mais  quoi servent-ils exactement alors ?
je l'ai envoy le 17/12/12, ils l'ont reu le 19/12/12 (accus de rception pour preuve). Mais sur leur site de suivi des rparations, ils m'ont envoy un mail automatique en disant l'avoir reu le 28/12/12...comme par hasard, juste aprs leur avoir cri dessus au telephone le meme jour !!
Nous sommes les 17/01/13, aucune nouvelle malgr trois nouveaux mails et deux appels au SAV (20 mn  0.34/mn...) pour m'entendre dire, ils ont une moyenne de 21 jours ouvrs pour rgler le probleme mais nous n'en savons rien, il faut joindre l'atelier par mail...sauf qu'il est impossible de leur envoyer un mail tant que la prcdure est en cours...on tourne en rond !!

bilan: moi qui voulait faire confiance  une entreprise franaise...je vais me tourner vers les chinois, ce sera surement mieux !...Honte  archos ! Vous pouvez faire passer l'info !

Dear Amanda Fucking Palmer, thank you. Your book made me smile, and cry. Your humanity reminded of my own. Your vulnerability made me hungry, and your imperfection reminded me of mine. Your stories reverberated on mine. And the shivering waves reminded me of oh so many things -- of my procrastination on declaring revolution on my self-lands, and letting the excuse of lack of discipline to dawn to self resolution. I'm still poisoned by your writings. But they say the difference between medicine and poison is just the right dose. Your book is just the right dose. My Queen of Asking, your insecurity is my insecurity, your freak-out-ness is my freak-out-ness, your constant questioning about yourself is just as laughable as mine. We, the crazy ones (or the art-touched ones), tend to doubt ourselves, and read you was a precious and scary exercise of looking in a glistening mirror of perfect universal sovereignty. We have so much at stake, yet we wander away from ourselves so many times, stubbornly. You lighted a huge light transforming your book into a cornerstone of ontological consciousness. For all of that, please excuse my daring, your book is my book because we share the highest of arts -- we shall be much more interested in the questions, and let the answers shrivel around our connectedness. Let's ask. Amanda Fucking Palmer, I love you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
