#tomscrossing — Public Fediverse posts

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!"

I finally started to read Mark Z. Danielewski’s monumental novel Tom’s Crossing last night, and I already know I’m committed for the long haul. I’ve had the book on my shelves for a couple of months now but put off starting it until I had the (head)space to give it the attention it deserves.

I’m a fan of Danielewski’s work anyway, but this seems like something that reaches beyond even the best of his earlier writing. So many passages where I’m marvelling at the way he expresses both the mundane and the ineffable with such clarity and apparent ease.

There’s no comparable feeling, I think, to becoming truly lost in a grand work of the imagination.
