Meeting Karl Ove Knausgaard - Deniz Kuypers
http://www.denizkuypers.com/meeting-karl-over-knausgaard
Meeting Karl Ove Knausgaard. May 8, 2015. November 12, 2015. Knausgaard and I chatted briefly. He said he’d never been to San Francisco and asked if I recommended anything. I suggested Alcatraz as my personal favorite tourist attraction, but I wish I’d told him something the locals do, or that I like to do. Because that to me has always provided a more valuable experience of a city than visiting the tourist sites. Oh well. Two Years and 140k Words Later →. For Dutch please go here. August 19, 2016.

The Great Leader by Jim Harrison. February 6, 2015. April 26, 2016. I love Jim Harrison. LOVE Jim Harrison. And this book has everything I love about his work. The free-flowing sentences; the sexual comedy; the indignation over the treatment of Native Americans; the copious amounts of food the characters consume in the course of the novel; the exquisite writing about nature. But. Doesn’t quite reach the heights of his best work (. Bark by Lorrie Moore. Pet Cemetery →. For Dutch please go here.

Pet Cemetery - Deniz Kuypers

February 10, 2015. June 8, 2015. Below the road to the Golden Gate Bridge lies a pet cemetery. It’s a sad, forgotten little corner of San Francisco. Easy to miss. I drive by it every week and never noticed it until today. So I decided to take a look. According to legend, it used to be a cemetery for cavalry horses or World War 2 guard dogs. I had my dog with me. I was curious to see if he’d pick up something in the air, some vibe. But I think, if anything, he just felt the same quiet sadnes...Deniz Kuype...

April 11, 2016. April 12, 2016. Here’s this year’s haul:. Lots of SF on the right. I’ve been reading SF for years, but still feel that I’m in those early stages of infatuation when there’s so much to discover, so much to love. The writers in the pile on the right I’ve all heard good things about. On the left, “literary fiction” or whatever you want to call it. A MULTITUDE OF SINS: Ford’s Bascombe books are pure magic. This is a short story collection from 2002. HENDERSON THE RAIN KING: This was the first...

A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin - Deniz Kuypers

A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin. June 18, 2015. April 26, 2016. Trying to summarize this book would result in a review the length of. So instead I’m putting down some random thoughts:. 1) This is my second-favorite of the series so far. The first book still strikes me as tighter and more controlled. The second contained a lot of setup for events that came to a head in book 3. 2) George RR Martin has an incredible imagination (duh) and his plotting is superb. A Song of Ice and Fire. 6) The fact th...
