The first installation of the Book of Disquiet which includes the Preface and Notes 1-5 Well, the first of what will likely be hundreds of installments. This is 19 minutes - it contains Notes 1-5 and includes Pessoa’s Preface (where he claims to meet Bernardo Soares, the “author” of this book - I wonder if he really believed his heteronyms existed outside of his writing- he gives them such full and complete biographies and characterizations).
Of course, I’m still in the midst of creating installments for Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Plato’s Republic, Eagleman’s Sum: 40 tales of the Afterlives, Lovecraft’s At The Mountains of Madness and a gazillion other things but what the hell? I adore Pessoa and madly identify with him (not because I write like him but because he writes what I wish I could). My recording life has now taken on the complexion of my reading life. A disjointed hot mess, but oh what a beautiful mess.
My apartment is haunted with the ghosts of refrigerator compressors’ past... there is a hum I can’t get rid of no matter how many plugs I unplug. It seems to come from between the walls. Must be the pang of echoes ululating from the skeletons of all the bodies I’ve buried in them:)
