This Bourdain quote but replace Cambodia with Jessica Walter, and Kissinger with Jeffrey Tambor
66 Once you've been to Cambodia, you'll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia - the fruits of his genius for statesmanship - and you will never understand why he's not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milosevic.” Anthony Bourdain

Very good and underrated. Dramatically askew (like most DeLillo) but interesting take of “novella as haiku.”

Tonight, I finished Ibsen’s major prose plays. For whatever reason, I don’t click with his writing, even as I admire it. I do want to see these plays live which I think would illuminate them for me. Anyway, here’s my ratings based on personal enjoyment:

From Rónán Hession’s Panenka
#booksky 💙📚 #novel
From Rónán Hession’s Panenka: She had recently taken a promotion at the supermarket where she had worked for several years, going from cashier to a management role that she had been encouraged to apply for. It was a little bit more money but she lost shift allowances, overtime, and the friendship of the women she had worked with on the registers. And so far she was struggling to assert herself with the men in the stockroom. There was something subtly undermining in their frigid co-operation and she could sense their hostility like a draught on her shoulders whenever she swept through to look in on them. But she contained her anxiety and instead projected managerial competence through her perfectionism. She had been taught that 'retail is detail' and was meticulous in her standards, despite knowing that this was a sure way to get called a bitch behind her back. As she sometimes reminded herself, this was all part of getting ahead and taking her life back, even if the small patch of alopecia behind her left ear had begun to worry her. It was easy to hide it now, but if it became

From Seamus Heaney’s “Act of Union”
#booksky 💙📚 #poetry
From Seamus Heaney’s “Act of Union” II And I am still imperially Male, leaving you with the pain, The rending process in the colony, The battering ram, the boom burst from within. The act sprouted an obstinate fifth column Whose stance is growing unilateral. His heart beneath your heart is a wardrum Mustering force. His parasitical And ignorant little fists already Beat at your borders and I know they're cocked At me across the water. No treaty I foresee will salve completely your tracked And stretchmarked body, the big pain That leaves you raw, like opened ground, again.
