Pynchon writes Rijeka (deadnaming it Fiume) as the crossroads of a collapsing culture…a port through which to flee if you have managed to conceal enough gold to pay the passage. Many found themselves chained at the water’s edge. Is it still a place to dance and drink yourself into oblivion?

Once I retire I’ll start referring to myself as an Architect with a majuscule “A”
(rather than with a lower case ‘a’ and an interrobang)

To the #Nobel Prize for Literature curia, in re 2 Thomas Pynchon: it’s time you gave the man his medal. Roky Erickson’s no longer available, alas, but perhaps he’ll send Patti again.

![Photograph by Geurst of an example of the Lutyens-designed War Stone component of the cemeteries in the French countryside. Taken this Armistice Day from *Cemeteries of the Great War by Sir Edwin Lutyens* by Jeroen Geurst [OIO, Rotterdam, 2010]. The War Stone is a simple monolithic altar form on a broad, shallow stylobate. All of its horizontal lines rise and fall as the surfaces of nested spheres centered deep underground and cresting through the greensward into the light to a height of no more than four feet. These stones, blinding white, are central features in each of the 140 cemeteries he planned.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tofsmqf5qx5cnjj6p2ws4gy4/bafkreihjdfohiwbcu5gao2j6js2w2xsji4bmt5m3f35yceezfnywzuryom@jpeg)
