Some of these short stories are brilliant. Most of them are just a couple of pages long. In one of the stories, a man and his friend are eating artichokes, his friend suggests that their unique taste comes from Prussic acid. The first man recognizes it as a superficial attempt to impress and therefore, expecting that he didn't actually know what he was talking about, in an innocent way asks the friend to elaborate about the acid - whereby the friend makes a silly retreat and suggests changing subject! I could here quote what Chekhov wrote about Gogol's The carriage, that this story alone is worth 20000 Rubel, but that would make me look somewhat like the friend in the story above :D
This is a collection of essays put out by MIT press about "spacial practice". It has sat by my bed for 6 months or so, but it is really interesting, just bulky and hard to carry around.
