Engaged with today

Miles Davis - Milestones
Cannonball Adderley - Somethin' Else
Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage
Takashi Miike - Audition - as shocking as the first time I saw it.
Benjamin Kunkel - Indecision - clever, but not particularly good. I shall return to work on my novel in which there is no particular reason for the protagonist's questionable mental state - why do these novels always have to have a trauma or Wendepunkt?

...another novel you're reading, you mean, or one you're writing yourself?

The one I'm writing, very slowly. Nothing at all will happen in it, or rather there will be no clear dramatic drive or event.

Brilliant. I love eventless art.

Well, it won't be eventless - small details will be important - no Wendepunkt - gradual agglomeration of seeming irrelevance will form the story.

I look forward to reading it one day. I must write a novel one of these days. I need salvation to come from somewhere.
