Marginalia #57
Over the years, I’ve been trying to make my way through folktale traditions from all across the globe. This one is both familiar and not.

Marginalia #50: Breece D’J Pancake, What a Way to Go!, Guy Klucevsek with Mister Rogers
Breece D’J Pancake hailed from West Virginia and writes like an Appalachian blend of Ernest Hemingway and early Cormac McCarthy, infused with the dark humor of Denis Johnson. While reading this collection, Jesus’ Son by Johnson often came to mind, possibly influenced by Pancake. Pancake’s writing is both gorgeous and devastating, capturing the lives and … Continue reading Marginalia #50: Breece D’J Pancake, What a Way to Go!, Guy Klucevsek with Mister Rogers
