Fitzcarraldo Editions sent me some books to add to my already growing collection! My love affair started with The Hatred of Poetry, Essayism and Second-Hand Time – that was more than two years ago. Since then I have been trying to read as much as I can of theirs. There’s a lot I could write here, but one of the things I love most about Fitzcarraldo as an independent publishing house is their desire to give voice to innovative and imaginative contemporary fiction and long-form essays. I think the design of the universal jackets is so beautiful and really lets each book speak for itself, its contents. As I mentioned I have particularly loved The Hatred of Poetry as well as This Little Art and Pond – I even ended up using sections of The Hatred of Poetry and Essayism in my undergrad dissertation and Pond in my postgrad dissertation. I’m looking forward to what waits for me in Limbo, my next read, as I feel very much in a state of in-between at the moment myself. Hoping I will find some comfort in meditations on the liminal.

Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

⁂

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

Does this count as a Sunday shelfie?

This morning I took myself for breakfast and spent until midday in the same spot reading The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath and working on a short story.
