    Do grade-school kids still have to write or speak about what they did during summer vacation? I’m not a kid, so I don’t get to take the summer off, but I did anyway. At least, I took a break from some things, and the roundup was one of them. I’m back for now. If there are enough readers, I’ll keep going. Let me know if you’d like more of this, or if you have any thoughts at all, in the comments below.

    I do my best to write the Litblog Roundup on a bi-weekly basis. This time around, I think to myself: well holy shit could any pair of two weeks possibly be any more different from each other! I’ll do my best to recap, but I can’t promise to be apolitical. It simply wasn’t an apolitical pair of weeks.

    One of the rules I set for myself, as I crawl the literary Internet for this column is that I’ll write about the interesting highlights. Some things, I’ve decided, don’t make the cut. They’re not highlights because they’re too frequent and they’re not interesting for that same reason. So I don’t pay attention to literary awards for the most part. I don’t pay attention to anything related to Neil Gaiman or Harry Potter. I don’t mention obituaries. I’m going to break one of those rules now.

    Show Don’t Tell If you’ve ever taken a writing class, you’ve probably head the old adage, “how don’t tell.” It means you should prefer a visual description over a more verbal one in your prose. But why is this the preference? Namatra Poddar explores the issue in an essay, “Is ‘Show Don’t Tell’ a Universal Truth or a Colonial Relic? ” In the essay you’ll find:

    Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Seven years ago, Seth Grahame-Smith concocted a book called “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.” You still don’t have a copy? I think you can find it in one of those stores that sells lumberjack soap and framed pictures of bacon. If you’re looking for his new book, well I’m afraid he’s had some trouble “writing” it .

    In a series about the intersection between literary culture and online life, every so often I’m tempted to stray into writing exclusively about one of those areas. It is one of those occasions, because this week marks the 25th anniversary of the World Wide Web . (It is not, however, the birthday of the Internet , which booted up in 1969.) This week also marks what some might consider to be a historic milestone: the end of Gawker’s blog-based media empire .

    <title>Fluxus Scores: works that writing cannot contain or control.</title>

    <description><![CDATA[
     In many ways, most Fluxus ‘scores’ (for music or other kinds of performance and/or composition) are fairly legible as scripts for performance/enactment; i.e. the text comes first and the performance after (if at all). Certainly, one of the interventions (and charms) of Fluxus scores were the openness of the scores, where interpretation and chance were much more important than following the letter of the law, as one might in traditional sheet music, for example. As such, reading Fluxus scores as performance texts allows us to see how writing can activate art/life works that writing cannot contain or control.

    Would You Know an Allegory if You Saw One? Laura Miller, writing for Slate, says no, you might not know an allegory when you saw one . First of all, it’s not a very common form. Second, the word “allegory” is misused so frequently, and so often confused for “metaphor” as to render it meaningless.

    I like to think, though, that all these bloggers need is some encouragement. I’m sharing this list, not to call out these hundreds of bloggers for being slackers, but to offer up some encouragement. For the readers out there: take a look at this list, see if anything strikes your fancy, and go post a comment to get a conversation started. For the writers of these blogs: take heart, keep blogging. We read you."]]></description>

    Shortlists The superbowl is over. Baseball season hasn’t started yet. A lull of noncompetitive peace would fall over the land… No. There are some book competitions to pay attention to. The Shortlist for the 2016 PEN Literary Awards has been published. It’s one of the most important literary awards . Like any contest or award, it definately has the attention of many people. The Morning News’s Tournament of Books may not be as old or prestigious, but it looks like fun. Members of a Goodreads group can read and judge the books on the list of nominees .

    Why do companies pretend to invent the very things that they work so hard to make obsolete?
Now, from the creators of the amazon.com website that you may have heard of, it’s a bookstore. Is it the Apple Store of bookstores or just the Barnes and Noble of Amazon Stores? It’s in Seattle. The books are all shelved with their covers facing out, with little cards to show the Amazon reviews. Online reviews are printed out on the shelves of a store. Other than that, it’s a bookstore, but it has raised so many questions.

    Is twitter a form of literature? What do you think about banned books week? All this, dead oysters, and more in the Litblog Roundup.
The Deal with Blurbs You’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover. You’re supposed to judge it by its blurb. But how are we to judge the blurbs themselves? Lately, that judgement has been a popular topic. First, there was the piece on “blurbspeak ” a while ago. Now, NPR asks “Forget The Book, Have You Read This Irresistible Story On Blurbs? ” One of the payloads of this discussion is that they’ve unearthed what appears to be the very first blurb, and the book for which it was written. If that’s not enough blurb action for you, Real Pants has you covered with free blurbs for your book .

Our Capacity for “Serious Noticing” Complex literary works demand an effort from the reader that is becoming harder to justify, given the sink-or-swim pressures to make profitable products for a global marketplace. Who can blame writers for spending more time ornamenting their Facebook page than revising their manuscript? — Joanna Scott

    If you have a laptop that quits working, you can take it to one of the many computer repair shops all over the country to have it repaired — for a while, until it becomes obsolete in just a few years. If you have a typewriter and it’s a good one, it should last 100 years or so, but where can you take it for repair? Typewriter repair is a dying art.

    Everybody knows that the government is really good at the Internet, right? Al Gore invented the Internet, right ? That new healthcare website worked just as well as Google and Facebook, right out of the box, right ? The government we trust to protect the freedom of the press and of speech has zero interest monitoring our every single communication, right ? We’re fucked, right? Well, maybe the giant corporations can better serve our interests, while using our money to keep those government bozos from meddling with our affairs. Surely those good, American corporations want us to see whatever we want on the Internet, whenever we want, right? No, it’s called blocking . Surely since we’re paying them for the quality of their products, they would never intentionally reduce that quality? No, it’s called throttling . Certainly, since there’s a freedom of information in this great land of ours, everyone’s Internet is the same Internet? No, there’s a better Internet that you may not have, called the fast lane . We’re pretty much fucked. Last week, new rules were created by the United States’ Federal Communications Commission. No, they’re not regulations about when you can or can not drop the F bomb . These are some additional regulations intended to protect something called Net Neutrality. Let’s take a look at all that, shall we? Let’s see whether it can un-fuck any of this mess.

The Art of Fiction describes the list that resulted as “anglo-centric” and the Literary Saloon described it as “shockingly monoglot.” If you would like to see a list of good, non-English books published recently, Entropy’s recent list of the top 93 poetry books in translation of 2014 might be a great place to start.

    If we’re to regard the Internet as analogous in any way to “publishing” then the Internet will need to have something like a library, so that the published work can be kept safe. Some of the first books ever printed some 500 years ago are kept safe and are still usable. Will the early Internet be around in 500 years time? If it will be available by then, it may be thanks in part to projects like the Internet Archive, which is described in detail in a recent New Yorker article .

    Maria Popova has a post at Brain Pickings this week that considers Susan Sontag’s 1964 essay “Against Interpretation” in lights of today’s culture, where the Internet is full of interpretations, increasingly mere reactions, in response to a body of material that is frequently understood as “content” rather than as experience or art. It seems impossible to take anything at face value when anything can instantly become the subject of a conversation involving thousands of people. What would Susan Sontag say to all of this, or would she say anything?

    Recovering the Classics Recovering the Classics is a crowdsourced collection of original covers for great works in the public domain where anyone can contribute. Why? Sadly, many of the greatest classics in the public domain are left with poorly designed or auto-generated covers that fail to capture what makes these books exciting and inspiring to us. So we invited illustrators, typographers, and designers of all stripes to create new covers for 100 of the greatest works in the public domain.

    <title>Ambient, Slowed-Down Theme for Windows 95</title>
    <link>https://nocategories.net/ephemera/heres-brian-enos-famous-composition-windows-95/</link>

    <description><![CDATA[
    Here’s Brian Eno’s famous composition “Windows 95 Startup Sound” (yeah he wrote that), but it has been stretched way out.
When you take his micro-music and stretch it out to two and a half minutes, it becomes suspiciously like the music we hear on his ambient albums - slow, ethereal, moody, beautiful in a very different way. So listen to it (this is a Windows 95 ad that an enterprising YouTuber slowed way down).

    <guid isPermaLink="false">https://nocategories.net/ephemera/dworkin-considers-works-predicated-on-blank-sheets/</guid>
    <description><![CDATA[
    Dworkin considers works predicated on blank sheets of paper, from a fictional collection of poems in Jean Cocteau’s Orphée to the actual publication of a ream of typing paper as a book of poetry; he compares Robert Rauschenberg’s Erased De Kooning Drawing to the artist Nick Thurston’s erased copy of Maurice Blanchot’s The Space of Literature (in which only Thurston’s marginalia were visible); and he scrutinizes the sexual politics of photographic representation and the implications of obscured or obliterated subjects of photographs.

    In No Medium , Craig Dworkin looks at works that are blank, erased, clear, or silent, writing critically and substantively about works for which there would seem to be not only nothing to see but nothing to say. Examined closely, these ostensibly contentless works of art, literature, and music point to a new understanding of media and the limits of the artistic object.

    <description><![CDATA[
    I know it’s becoming unfashionable to actually own a digital copy of music anymore, but that doesn’t change the fact that I have several thousand songs that I have collected over the years. Lately I’ve become interested in cleaning up the information about my music library, the metadata tags that describe the music’s genre, in particular. I’d like to be able to kick back with my iphone or whatever and quickly scroll through a list of genres. I’d like for that list to help me easily answer the question “what kind of music do I want to listen to right now”. Sadly, nearly all the music in my collection has a genre tag that is way too general “alternative” or way too specific “pre-punk indie rock” to be very good.

    Dadadodomax: An App for Word Collages
Dadadodomax is an app for making text-collages, or cut-ups, out of the text you feed it. It analyses texts for word probabilities, and then generates random sentences based on that. Sometimes these sentences are nonsense; but sometimes they cut right through to the heart of the matter, and reveal hidden meanings.

    neocronica is a novel written on adhesive text over a wall by Sérgio Tavares Filho.
From the author:
on the difficulty of knowing the truth behind the computer: one character seeks another who suddenly disappears from their everyday computer-mediated routine. Searching through an ocean of information, his challenge is to find her. I decided to release it on one page only, making it more difficult for the reader to follow the investigation (as it was difficult for the character to dig through all the information). As the character, one must have time and resistance, or then leave the mystery unsolved and go for the next attraction/distraction.

    <description><![CDATA[
    On more than one occasion, the artist Marcel Duchamp published some unusual written works. Rather than to write and produce a book, the artist chose to produce, in limited edition, a box full of reproductions of small handwritten and drawn notes, not unlike a database, or a file-share of an artist’s hard drive. Rather than being a completed creative work, the notes are ideas for, or about, creative work. The translation of these notes, from French to English, and from box to book, proved to be a difficult endeavor, a task for which a new name was coined: “typotranslation”.

    <description><![CDATA[
     The book Traumgedanken (“Thoughts on dreams”) contains a collection of literary, philosophical, psychological and scientifical texts which provide an insight into different dream theories. To ease the access to the elusive topic, the book is designed as a model of a dream about dreaming. Analogue to a dream, where pieces of reality are assembled to build a story, it brings different text excerpts together. They are connected by threads which tie in with certain key words. The threads visualise the confusion and fragileness of dreams.

    update: This show was a disaster. The management double-booked a reading with a moustache competition, which would have been fine except for the noise. It was impossible to hear the reading over that noise, and the obscene heckling didn’t help either. Frazier’s is not a literary venue, nor was it a welcoming one on this occasion. At least the proceeds went to a goodTcause.

    <description><![CDATA[
    Google Books has a preview copy of Futurist typography and the liberated text By Alan Bartram
In the early decades of the twentieth century, European artists, poets and designers called for the destruction of outdated assumptions about vision and language. Numerous manifestos resulted, demanding new artistic forms. None of these manifestos was more aggressive and poetic, or wider in scope than Filippo Tomasso Marinetti’s Futurist Manifesto of 1909. Painting, sculpture, literature, architecture, theatre, cinema, and music were all caught up in its net. Typography"“until then a distant relative in the arts"“also played a major role in Marinetti’s program. Written by leading design scholar Alan Bartram, this fascinating book examines the rise and evolution of the Futurists’ approach to typography and graphic design, placing it within the context of contemporary artistic and literary movements. The volume features examples of some eighty Futurist books or other designs for print, many of them relatively unknown or previously unpublished, accompanied by new translations of over twenty of the featured texts. Bartram illuminates the complicated meanings of the Futurist designers’ graphic works in order to provide a new understanding of their extraordinary and influential visual language.

    <title>5 Oulipo Constraints</title>

    <description><![CDATA[
    Oulipo, or Workshop of Potential Literature, is a group of writers and thinkers interested in the notion of “constraint”.
You can think of constraint as something like the rules of a generative writing game. For example, the rules of the sonnet game result in the creation of a sonnet. The rules of the short story game result in the creation of a short story. Are there other rules? New games? New things to create? By asking those questions, the Oulipo has become a workshop of potential literature.

    One Hour of Television is a bleeding, screaming, literary freak-beast adventure novel created by new Canadian voice-sensation Kristina Born. Told in poetic-micro-burst segments, Born transcribes a filthy world of wicked science, consumerism, bomb building, and Texas hold em. From a boiled pot of Gary Lutz, Andy Kaufman, andÂ pure human fear, One Hour of Television is a story of mad consumption that will, through its paper, consume you. In a recent interview with The Faster Times , Kristina Born the author has some interesting things to say about how the book was created, and what sort of style it is written in.

    Asemic Magazine explains the concept of Asemic Writing .
It looks like writing, but we can’t quite read it. I call works like this “asemic writing”. Asemic writing seems to be a gigantic, unexplored territory. Asemic writing has been made by poets, writers, painters, calligraphers, children, and scribblers, all around the world. Most people make asemic writing at some time, possibly when testing a new pen. Educators talk about children going through distinct stages of “mock letters”, “pseudowriting” and so on, when they’re learning to write. Many of us made asemic writing before we were able to write words.

    There’s this new, controversial anthology of nearly 4,000 poems, entitled Issue 1 . It is large enough to defy the limits of traditional bookbinding, with its 3,785 pages. It defies another assumption about books, too. This anthology was compiled by editors Stephen McLaughlin, Gregory Laynor & Vladimir and Aleksandrovich Zykov, but its contents weren’t exactly “written”. An article in Poetry Magazine’s blog describes exactly how the text was compiled . Suffice it to say that the book was generated, not written. Issue 1 features the names of several thousand people, living and dead, poets and not. With each name is a poem, or at least what looks like a poem. These texts were not written by the people whose names accompany the texts. Instead, some of the texts appear to have been algorithmically generated by a computer program named Erica T. Carter. ]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[
    In 2002, there was a big debate over the validity of experimental literature. It was sparked by an article in the New Yorker, September 30 2002, where “Jonathan Franzen writes about the career of William Gaddis, one of the most imposing modern novelists, and considers the question of whether a novel’s difficulty is related to its quality as literature ”. In the online interview that accompanied the article, Franzen raised a few concerns about what he calls “difficult literature”.

    Repugno Selects is a new blogzine for visual poetry / word art / text objects "" as they intervene in the world. Each issue, Repugno the editor, gives us an interesting collection of graffiti, and things like graffiti to enjoy. His criteria: the visual poetry cannot appear on a page. Instead, the art featured ere is printed on brick walls, tacked onto phone booths, and discovered in alleyways. Repugno calls this kind of stuff “Vispo in the World”. (Vispo, of course, is short for “visual poetry”.) The criteria for Repugno Selects also serves as a good definition of what is meant by “Vispo in the World”. Read on.

    In honor of the Olympics this summer, we bring you this amusing tidbit, The Flux-Olympiad. Founding Fluxus artist George Maciunas (1931 "" 1978) conceived the idea of a Flux-Olympiad in the 1960s but this event was never realized until Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall housed the first ever Flux-Olympiad, a series of flux-sports events over the three-day arts festival on the 23-26 May, 2008. Artist, sportsman and Fluxus expert Tom Russotti commentated on the Fluxxus Olympiad for the Tate Modern’s podcast.

    Ron Silliman is afraid of getting into trouble for saying it, but he done said it anyhow.
He sees some interesting parallels between the new poetry today and the poetry that was new in the 1950’s . In addition to those parallels, he is happy to see that there are actually different approaches to new modes of poetry, for a change.

    It was one week, to the hour, since my arrival in boston. I had just completed a poetry reading. It was the third reading I have attended this week. You wouldn’t believe the lunacy I’ve seen, passed off as poetry, or maybe you would, in which case you have my sympathy. This reading was not so fraught with lunacy, and so I decided to read some poems.

     Look out! I don't mean the window, I mean the helicopters overhead, the buzz on the phone, and the police at the door. Achtung! The sky is falling from the atoms they have taken from the air. The trees cut to build temples to oil. The brown water no longer fit for fish. Look out! When freedom is just another word for what we have lost. When peace is another brand of bomb. When the national animal is no longer an eagle, but a sheep. I attended a poetry reading this evening by Thomas Rain Crowe , with whom I had the honor of sharing my lunch today earlier today. He’s a real bona-fide beatnik, drinking buddy to the stars: Ginsberg and company themselves. That alone was impressive, I suppose. He shared with us some selections of his fiction and his poetry. He told us about his rock band . and his first volume of translations of the poems of the 14th century Persian poet Hafiz , ( Hafiz )According to his bio: “Following six years as Editor-at-Large for the Asheville Poetry Review, he is currently writing a memoir in the style of Thoreau’s Walden based on four years of self-sufficient living in the wilderness environment in the woods of western North Carolina from 1979 to 1982. He currently resides in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. His literary archives have been purchased by and are collected at the Duke University Special Collections Library in Durham, North Carolina.”
