Mary Robison - "Likely Lake"

A short from the Paris Review.

I don't get the title, I realize, but the story is nice and some sentences are spot on. She does not want to be called a minimalist but a "subtractist", I think Sam Lipsyte said in the introduction. Should reread at some point. There is more juxtaposed than I realize.

Onze Man in Teheran

Mooie, veel te korte, vierdelige serie van Thomas Erdbrink over het leven in Iran. De woede, de blijheid, de wetten, de regeltjes... zoveel te leren. Een serie waarvan je wil dat er nog veel meer afleveringen zouden volgen.

AlascA - "Sweet Surrender" (Prospero)

• "Sweet Surrender" - very slow, not exactly melancholy, but nice
