Singer is my favorite fiction writer of all time. This dark fable set in a small Polish village in 1648 depicts the moral corruptions and transgressions that sweep up the townspeople as they embrace the deceitful and profane teachings of a false prophet. It is a thrilling work, written with a vividness and verisimilitude that feels like an historical account.

“…the arrogant two-footed prey,
Who, isolated in his senseless pride,
Does not submit to the god’s advice
In the whisper of the leaves…”
A horror story from 405 BC. Examines an alternate version of Jesus who is here for a good time, not a long time, and details the consequences of what happens when you stop worshipping him, or even start questioning why anyone who spends too much time near him runs screaming into the woods and starts biting hunks out of any animal that gets near them. tw for cannibalism/gore

vonnegut, my prophet of future and past, my best friend. this book is a beautiful story about human nature and, despite vonnegut being painted as a cynic, is an optimistic look at the innate goodness we’d all like to think we have. god bless you, kurt

🎵This rather obscure 1969 b-side would later become a huge hit in 1971 when it was recorded by The Carpenters with some of its risque lyrics (as well as its title) changed. Written by the great Leon Russel and Bonnie Bramlett and featuring Clapton himself on guitar, this song moves and haunts me everytime I hear it. One of the great melodies in rock history.

📕My favorite novel of the last year. Once begun, this one is impossible to put down yet you will want it to go on and on. It's about love, sex, family, fame, identity and yes, pain. With an ending so transcendent and full of hope it made me cry.
