Searching for Sebald.

Searching for Sebald arrived today.
Institute of Cultural Inquiry. Searching for Sebald. Singapore: ICI Press, 2007. Pictured on my office easy chair with my briefcase.

My project starts on page 242, and yes, I’m aware of the (at least one) typo in my contribution and the first thing I’ll do when I return home tonight is check the proofs and either drink in self-loathing or quiet celebration. Nevertheless, it’s a beautiful tome, 631 perfect-bound pages, and I’m honored to have contributed six of them.

The trade edition run of 2,500 will be available November 2007. Please see the official page at the Institute of Cultural Inquiry, the Digital Art Publishers catalog, or the (presently outdated) Amazon.com page for ordering information.


I’d never shown it to you.

2008 December 25

Though I completed this chapter of my pop music autobiography in late September, a few weeks into my first semester at Georgetown, only now in the more apparent denouement of my existential crisis do I feel compelled to write its intentions, framed in the context of two gifts I received in November.
