The Persistence of Vision, here in its Spanish translation, is one of the most beautiful stories I have ever read. It is about a community of blind and deaf people as seen by a ‘normal’ person, and how he learns to understand them and communicate with them. This made me think about our visually-oriented way of life and how different it could be if we could not see.

Bram Dijkstra Cubism, Stieglitz, and the Early Poetry of William Carlos Williams Princeton University Press, 1969 ISBN 0691013454 Acquired on March 2003 Read on August 2004 |
The first three chapters are about the state of the art world in the United States from about 1900 to 1920. There was a group of disgruntled artists, led by Alfred Stieglitz, who thought that outside of their group, artists in the U.S.A. had not really made contact with their home land: they said that the others kept fantasizing about European landscapes and other boring pastoral scenes, rather than looking at what the local environment had to offer. Those three chapters describe the excitement that was going on around Stieglitz's gallery, called "219", on Fifth Avenue in New York. Photographers, painters, writers, and poets revolved around it, presenting their new ideas and trying to define a style. Most of them started with variations on Cubism or Impressionism, they tended to reject pure abstraction, and later managed to form their own style.
William Carlos Williams initially thought of being a painter, but ended up a poet. However, he tried to rid his poetry of all literary aspects — metaphors, philosophical ramblings — and instead tried to write his poems as if they were paintings. Like the Cubists, he tried to present different views of the same object so that one would be able to get a more detailed impression of it than would be possible by only observing it from a single viewpoint. He liked to isolate single objects and then describe them plainly: he thought that an object itself should be able to form particular feelings in the observer/viewer/reader, without any help from allusions to other situations or metaphors whatsoever.
The initial chapters that describe the first two or three decades of the 1900s, plus the chapter that focuses on Stieglitz, are fantastic. They got me really excited about how artists look at art and try to evolve it. Along the way, this part of the book has examples of W. C. Williams's poems and how they relate to photographs or paintings by other people in the Stieglitz group, or vice-versa. Later, there is a chapter that gives a large number of references to those other artists. This chapter gets quite tedious if you don't know who those artists are; I would certainly have liked it better if the book had samples of their work. There are about 30 black-and-white plates in the book, which look absolutely horrible due to being printed on mass-market paper. While they are useful to let you have an idea of how certain works look like, they are printed so badly that they don't really lead to being contemplated in comfort. The text in the book describes colors and textures, but the paintings are printed as murky gray halftones.
The last two chapters go into more detail on Williams's poems, but the text gets repetitive. It keeps pointing out Williams's desire to do away with metaphor and to observe things directly, etc., etc., which is exactly what the first chapters were about. Finishing the last chapter felt like a chore, except for the parts where the author actually talks about specific poems; the rest is just a repetition of what he had discussed before.
In short, to me the most interesting parts of the book were the first three chapters on the Stieglitz group and the beginnings of William Carlos Williams's conscious efforts to create a new kind of poetry, and the bits where the book analyzes particular poems and relates them to paintings or photographs by other members of the group. As an amateur photographer, the book managed to form a lot of ideas in my head about how or why to do photography.

Gisèle Freund La Fotografía como Documento Social Ediciones G. Gili, 1999 ISBN 9688872083 Acquired on August 2001 |
This is a very interesting little book. It has a history of photography in the context of how it changed people's way of looking at the world. It is interesting to see how it started as a way of making portraits and it was until much later that it got used for documentary purposes. It has some very interesting chapters about the use of photography for political purposes, sensationalism, and serious photojournalism.
The Spanish translation is not bad, but it could be better in places.
I decided I knew very little about History from about 1 DC to the beginning of the Middle Ages, so this would be a good place to learn more.

Music that is good while reading this book: anything by Silvestre Revueltas; Delerium's Karma. Music that is perfect for the last two chapters: Philip Glass, Symphony No. 3.
This is the kind of book that changes every time you read it. The texture in this book is so dense it can make your head spin or completely gloss over it. You have to be in the right mood to absorb it. You have to absorb all of it to get the full view of the book. It is gritty, fast, covered with patina, shiny, smooth, and sleek, all at the same time.

I wish this book had not ended so soon. It feels a lot less dense than Gibson's other novels and so it is not as filling. As usual, the descriptions of places and of intricate mechanical devices are exquisite. The sensation of its operation is best likened to that of winding a fine thirty-five-millimeter camera. — stuff like that makes me tingly inside. Apparently All Tomorrow's Parties is the first book that Gibson wrote after becoming a Net-citizen; unfortunately this resulted in that book containing several well-known clichés, while Gibson's previous books seemed, at least to me, superbly original. Pattern Recognition also has its little share of clichés, but they are subtler and not as bothersome.

Andrew S. Glassner Andrew Glassner's Notebook: Recreational Computer Graphics Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, 1999 ISBN 1558605983 Acquired on July 2000 |
It is fantastic how this book mixes so many topics in one place. The first part is the journal of Edmund Talbot, a young rich man who sails from England to Australia so that he will obtain an important position in the government. Through his eyes you learn about the snobbery of the English ruling classes, their attitude towards lower classes, and relations of power. Talbot gets portrayed as a almost thoroughly despicable person, but one wants to know everything that he has to say. He has absolutely nothing to do during the boring sea voyage except look at the other passengers, the crew, and try to figure out ways to stir them around to amuse himself. He thinks he is a civilized, powerful person, but in reality he is a self-righteous, pompous rich man who shows a completely different image to other people.
There is a clergyman in the ship who is also a passenger to Australia, a parson named James Colley. This parson receives nothing but animosity and hostility from all the other people in the ship, but through Talbot's journal we almost learn to feel contempt and scorn towards the parson.
The second part of the book is where Talbot quotes a very long letter from Colley. In his letter, the parson is redeemed as a person who is completely innocent and inexperienced with social situations. The tense and unfamiliar atmosphere of the ship ends up corrupting him, with terrible consequences.
As great as the book is, the ending or third part is very underwhelming. After we learn everything we needed to learn, we get to know the reason for the ship's captain's hatred of clergymen, as well as other gossip from the ship which does not seem to be very relevant to the important topics in the book. Still, I would like to read Close Quarters and Fire Down Below, the two sequels to this book. William Golding's knowledge of navigation and the sea is amazing.

Dave and Ninka Miller and myself were walking around downtown Sydney when it started raining heavily. So we took cover in a bookstore filled with glossy commercial books. We were just killing time waiting for the rain to stop, and I found this little book with a catchy title. It turned out to be a hilarious little novel about a guy in New York whose life sucks pretty badly. Definitely a good bathroom read.

John Julius Norwich Great Architecture of the World Mitchell Beazley Publishers Ltd., 1975 ISBN 0306804360 Acquired on March 1999 |
This is a very beautiful book on Architecture. There is relatively little text, but lots of very nice pictures, diagrams and cut-outs. This is a book I really enjoy browsing and using as a basis for sketches. Each pair of pages covers a topic very briefly, like "Rome/The Forum" or "Gothic/Chartres Cathedral". The thing I like about this book is that it is not pretentious, the text is not pedantic, and the pictures are gorgeous.
Online version of Down and Out in Paris and London.
Online version of The Road to Wigan Pier.
This is a two-part book. The first part talks about poverty and the living conditions of the working class in England around the 1930s, especially the mining towns in the North. The second part talks about Socialism and what is good and bad about it — how it is the only thing that could make things better for the working class, how the middle class would change, and how this all affects the rich class.
Orwell gives a very good explanation of why Socialism just makes sense but yet it is not put in practice. All of our customs and convictions, even our tastes and way of talking, derive in some way or another from the social class we were born in. Socialism would change everything about that, essentially turning each one of us into different people, and that why is people unconsciously do not want Socialism to be put in place. Thus, class differences cannot be eliminated. Orwell suggests that the working and middle classes should put aside their differences and realize that they should work together against the domination of the ruling class.
A complete catalog of Remedios Varo's paintings and sketches. It has gorgeous pictures and it is very nicely printed. Remedios Varo is my favorite surrealist painter and definitely one of my top artists.

This is great play, with some of the strongest imagery I've ever read — this is especially great given the minimalistic set, props, and costumes required. There is a great conflict between worship/instinct, rationality/awe.
The play raises the question of whether it is ethical to take away someone's wonder and awe if they are the only things that person has. This strikes a chord with me. My mother used to be an agnostic, deeply rational persion, interested in all sorts of books and films. Years after her divorce, she became a hard-core, Bible-thumping Christian. These days she is detached from her sons, my brother and I, as we no longer live with her; her religion also helped to distance each other, as her constant preaching became very bothersome to us. She is detached from my grandmother, who is old and generally stays away from other people's business. My mother takes care of my grandmother, but for all practical purposes she is alone; her husband is long gone, her kids are all but gone, she should be retiring soon, and she doesn't have any particularly engaging hobbies. Her only passion is her religion. Several members of the surrounding family who are deeply anti-religious, myself included, have thought about how to "turn her back" to her agnostic, rational, intellectual self — now I am not so sure this would be a good idea.

A writer who has Literature sickness writes his own journal. He cannot think of anything except in literary terms: quoting other writers from their books and journals, thinking of himself as the reincarnation of them. The first part of the book is great, a short story in itself; in it, the writer wanders through the world trying to rid himself of his sickness. Another part, where he writes down what he thinks of several writers who also kept personal journals, is very interesting; he writes tidbits about Kafka, Musil, Gide, Pitol, Renard, Valéry, Amiel, Dalí, Gombrowicz, Mansfield, Maugham, Michaux, Pavese, Pessoa... it makes one want to read their journals as well. But the rest of the book has up and downs, and the downs get tedious.
