Spring snow ā¦. That whole cycle of books is really sublime. Heās also so interesting, if you really want to be in contact with his weird brain his memoir about body building is crazy. his novella star is a good intro just cause itās short and perverse.

This is something the whole family can enjoy. While Iām not really a fan of Rob Smithsonās art (think the spiral jetty film is better than the actual thing, kind of a silly looking creation no?) his writing is really great, sort of reeks of auto-didact vibes but thereās a contagious curiosity to all the shit even if youāre not certain on what heās talking about. A really fierce intelligence with regards to the imbrication of the anthropocentric landscape, language, and industrial conditions writ large. Itās also just fun. On a sappier level I like reading this stuff because it reminds me to approach everything as a novice. The phrase āruins in reverseā from A Tour of the Monuments of Passaic, New Jersey (1967) has haunted me for a while now.
