More importantly, the monthly is still able to get ahead of the times by printing new names. Harper's Magazine (not to be confused with the fashion magazine Harper's Bazaar) is America's best serious monthly magazine on art, politics, science, and literature. Tell us a few words about Harper's Magazine. The feeling that, although perhaps reading the book is like a hallucination lasting many hours, we are not alone in this hallucination, but collectively, together. And what is that? "A golden moment of joy" from Viktor Pelevin's novel about Buddha's Little Finger. This picture indicates that (i) I read everything (ii) I read books I need for some specific purpose (iii) I read the titles published by friends (iv) I read what my former students have written (I occasionally teach creative writing at the workshop by Czarne publishing house) (v) sometimes I advise friendly publishers as a hunting hound (vi) I read what’s trendy, why not! And finally (vii), I'm still looking for something in this reading. And lots of issues of Harper's Magazine, which I bring over from the USA, one of the most interesting and oldest literary magazines in America. A printout of a novel to be published in England this year, I've got an embargo on the author's name and the title, though. Mongolski cyrk ("Mongolian Circus") by Ewa Olejarz, the strangest poetry in the world. Małgorzata Sidz’s Kocie chrzciny ("Cat's Christening") about Finland. Then the ones I barely started, Czarne słońce ("Black Sun") by Żulczyk, Turbopatriotyzm ("Turbopatriotism") by Marcin Napiórkowski, Akademia Pana Kleksa ("Mister Blot’s Academy") by Brzechwa, which we are reading with my kid. Lord Jim in Kłobukowski's translation, so somewhat read from the beginning. Next, Eyland by Sigridur Bjornsdottir about life in quarantine (ha ha!).
This, in turn, is groundwork for what I provisionally call a ‘disco novel’. On the same pile, there are books about Mossad. Bloody miniatures by Eliza Kącka about neighbours ( Elizje ). The prose writer and translator Piotr Siemion reveals what he has on his reading pile, tells us about his search for the ‘chimeric moment of joy’, a novel from which he remembers every word, as well as about a ‘disco novel’ and about what writing has in common with existence.
