Visionary Cities: The Arcology of Paolo Soleri

I came across a copy of Paolo Soleri’s monograph Visionary Citiesat Powell’s and was deeply impressed. The content of the book is fascinating, but it’s the form of it that really struck me — a piece of graphic design history that had thus far evaded me. The book was designed in 1971 by Donald Wall [...]

Brautigan Covers

I’ve been a fan of Richard Brautigan’s novels for a long time. The words are great, but I also find his book covers to be compelling. They nearly always include a photo of Brautigan with a woman or just a woman alone. Apparently, Brautigan would invite friends, girlfriends or women he’d just met to model [...]

Self-published

It appears that Issue 3 of Tare Lugnt will be limited to one unique copy. Kind of reminds me of Shelly Jackson’s Skin project.

Revenge of the Lawn

“The geese stood by staring on like some helpless, primitive American advertisement for aspirin under the pear tree as Jack drove his car into the house for the second and last time in the Twentieth Century.”

DFW’s last and unfinished novel was recently discovered. The New Yorker published an excerpt from it this week.

Humor Runs in the Family

Zadie Smith writes in the New Yorker about the role of comedy in her father’s life.
In birth, two people go into a room and three come out. In death, one person goes in and none come out. This is a cosmic joke told by Martin Amis. I like the metaphysical absurdity it draws out of [...]

Hilarious

Enjoyed some toothsome pork belly and good company at Clyde Common last night. Diana and Scott were kind enough to bring us a copy of Fillip, a rather nicely designed art journal from Vancouver that features several inserted artist projects and some pretty thoughtful articles. Particularly liked the conversation between David Goldenberg and Patricia Reed [...]
