"Brilliant short story collection by Ted Chiang, who writes rarely but masters the form whenever he does.
Being familiar with the film Arrival, I enjoyed Story of Your Life about nonlinear linguistics and it's always fun to compare with source materia" Read more of this review » |

“You are about to awake when you dream that you are dreaming.”

“The street is no longer measured by meters but by corpses ... Stalingrad is no longer a town. By day it is an enormous cloud of burning, blinding smoke; it is a vast furnace lit by the reflection of the flames. And when night arrives, one of those scorching howling bleeding nights, the dogs plunge into the Volga and swim desperately to gain the other bank. The nights of Stalingrad are a terror for them. Animals flee this hell; the hardest stones cannot bear it for long; only men endure.”
― Inferno: The World at War, 1939-1945

Hello, S.! Thank you for contacting me. Congratulations on your books! I hope you are well and enjoying a great week. Happy reading, writing, dreaming, and everything else. Happy Holidays!Best wishes from Majenta
in the broad interests of distributing information in as disorganized fashion as possible, I'll point out that Miss California just greeted me despite being ignored continuously for days upon days on end. some people are irrepressible. sadly, some highly extroverted and happy individuals never seem to realize that complete distance and lack of caring does not amount to either hatred or a desire to start a relationship-- viz., as all introverts know, sometime there's just distance, neutral, unyielding.it's possible inappropriate to clutter up my GR account which some random repetition of my 2.5 week work gig, but considering how very odd it was to live in a squat with radical left wing radicals on the one hand (INGSOC), council housing providing a cover of undocumented West African refugees and bangladeshi brick land kitchen workers, as well as Morrissey-listening latinos and midlands post-industrial, post-punk, post-everything tattoed and pierced punks, and in the mornings report to Private International Clubs, P.C., [=LLC, GmBH, KK] for formal indoctrination in The Bartender Experience™ [TBE], I guess it doesn't hurt to report to GR in whatever tinfoil ways, what TBE was all about:
greeting / request to serve / goodwill
basic opening / listing of offerings
(*the rotation*)
"the rotation" being the key service proviso. everyone already knows about
"our baked salmon is served ultracool-airlifted from norwegian fjords, sea salt arriving from gambia and capers originating in local hothouse. we can offer the dish either with or without hothouse dill...." (the standard menu plus origin skillset)
"the rotation" was the ability to bounce around a conversation in a pleasing yet ultimately empty way, offering bland pro-UN platitudes and hopes for world peace without ever offering any meaningful political commentary. yet the trainers became agitated at me when I made the following questions
trainer: so, Mike, as we can see in guideline #4, radical commentary is always, absolutely forbidden
Mike: wait, radical has two meanings.
trainer (cocking eyebrow): actually, I majored in Poli-Sci, so you might be asking exactly the right person to clarify.
Mike: great. radical can mean, "ultra far left," or it can mean "extreme political sentiment," as in a "radical nationalist hate group." which are you forbidding?
trainer: (launches into 10 minute explanation.)
Mike: that's wonderful, thank you for clarifying.
trianer: no problem. but I do have to write down a note that you're providing some slight resistance to our standard training
Mike: what, you're goign to write me up for asking for an explanation?
etc etc etc
