Procure Objects In This Mirror Formulated By Brian Dillon Displayed In Manuscript

me olvidó por completo marcar este libro como leído en fin ! una lectura muy chula, es el equivalente literario a cuando entras en un rabbit hole en Wikipedia y saltas del artículo sobre columnas griegas a cables de fibra óptica sin darte cuenta Brian Dillon writes about art the way my brain wants to be spoken to with obsessive tangents, demarcations, parallelisms.
He seems to know a lot about everything, which would make him merely Macaulay Culkin in Uncle Buck if he wasn't so damn good at linking it all together.
Nice short essays. A relief after what feels like every "essay" these days clocking in betweenandthousand words, Most of the texts in this collection run betweenshort pages, and occasionally feature moments of greatness.


A handful of memorable moments, but also much to forget and much the author needs to flesh out further.
Picked this up while traveling, and hope I'll get my hands on his more recent NYRB booksthey look to be a bit more focused than this retrospective of a writer in the making.
A great essay to me is like having a private and quiet conversation with the writer especially fantastic if you feel that you share some of the writer's obsessions or thoughts.
Brian Dillon is one of my favorite essayists or commentator on the literary/visual world, "Objects in This Mirror: essays" is a perfect book for me, where you finish reading the text, the presence stays with you for awhile.
Dillon is the editor for a fascinating publication called "Cabinet," which is perfect for those who are curious about the natural and madeup world

that is in our lives, or at the very least, outside our front entrance.
The main subject matter for these essays in the book are everything from other essayists to the common cold to reading Roland Barthes.
In fact if you are a fan of Barthes and I'm one I think this is the book for you.
