"Passion has little to do with euphoria and everything to do with patience. It is not about feeling good. It is about endurance. Like patience, passion comes from the same Latin root: pati. It does not mean to flow with exuberance. It means to suffer."

~ Mark Z. Danielewski, born today, 1966.

local, (over)earnest, often amateurish, community-minded, enthusiastic, goofy, non-slick, DIY:

the novel #TomsCrossing is set in 1982, but flash-forwards show that later on (in-universe), many unrelated people make art, fan-art, folk art etc. in reaction to stuff that happens in the book.

if you know the fediverse AND read the lengthy descriptions of these artworks, discussions, exhibition spaces etc., you will think: "same vibe!"

After 8.5 weeks, I've finished Mark Danielewski's newest, the 1200+-page tome that is Tom's Crossing. I languished, I complained, I doubted. And then, I cheered, I applauded, I was sad for it to be over. It's books like these that make me unable to quit a book I've started, especially a book I've invested a lot of time into. No regrets.
