Ohh thanks for this link, I hadn't really done much reading of coverage of the books mostly because I just wanted to sit with my own opinions for a while but this is really great, and I love the part about Ursula le Guin thinking about books as bags!
I just finished the second book in the series, and it also had me thinking about containers and the edges of things. I love this prompt and thinking about our work in this way.
I love the idea of envisioning projects as containers. I’m going to invest some time there this weekend. And I love your photos, Jami. I love how you pay attention. That close looking is important to me also.
Margaret Atwood talked about this very thing during a discussion of her novel Cat’s Eye. She said she needed a reliquary for all the artifacts of her childhood and the book was it.
Love the visualizations of your works as containers -- it gives me a new way to find a "shape" for what I am writing.
Substack is a container and I was happy to find this post in it today 😁
I finished Calc of Vol 2, 3 and 4 on my summer travels, too, and am also chewing it over constantly. If you missed this LRB piece ( https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v48/n05/joanna-biggs/bleeding-in-the-dishes?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=campaign&utm_id=01KKGYJ0FHAW9WHYNM3A4DDQZ0&_kx=WzEQH8KmU-kyn-rRSIqRKDoyP-usRV4Xh7ZiC2EkgGk.U5D8ER) I thought it was interesting (especially the details about her translators). I was so curious to read about the author's age, because I think how the book is addressing age/aging is something I'm constantly trying to ascertain. What does the passage of time mean in this world?
