Tagged book is the companion book to this photo essay.A bunch of our veggies in the winter come from Imperial county in California , and Yuma county, Az. They are getting hammered with rain now ,The small town of Ocotillo, Ca. looked like a raging river going through it . 😥

I'm not really bailing, I just need to buy this book. It's so long and dense and slow-going for me--and it's so big--that reading a library copy is not practical. Must get a used copy! So really this is on hold til then,

mcipher I have a Goodreads shelf for those - on the back burner. Vollman is definitely dense!! 8y

Butterfly Stories: A Novel | William T. Vollmann

If this advertisement be not sufficient, I can only protrude my wormlike tendrils of apology, craving forbearance on the grounds that a writer must write about what he knows, and since I know nothing about any subject it scarcely matters where I dabble.

Expelled from Eden: A William T. Vollmann Reader | William T. Vollmann, Larry McCaffery, Michael A. Hemmingson

Are you a censor? Do you tell people not to say “girl”? Shame on you! If nothing offends you, you‘re a saint or you‘re psychotic. If a few things offend you, deal with them--fairly. If you‘re often offended by things, you‘re probably a self-righteous asshole and it‘s too bad you weren‘t censored yourself--by your mother in an abortion clinic.

Time to start a new nonfiction book, since I finished the last a week or two ago. I am on page 3 of over 1100 (1300 with the notes). How many times will I lose this to the library lol?

So then, in a pleading tone, he whispers: why did you make me? i never wanted to be made...
For propaganda, of course. It's all in your own book. How can we persuade others to be good, without evil we can point to? #vollmann #europecentral
