It's incredibly affirming that my little side-hobby can make someone's day. Thank you for your attentive viewing! As I always say, the support always makes it worth it
@@polarboiyeahz Fuckin awesome, especially the later stories of the collection. Since then ive managed to snag a copy of collected novellas AND two novels, so my arno journey has been going well underway.
Am I wrong in feeling that I enjoy more the experience of you talking about Schmidt for me than reading the work itself? I think that literary commentary, being fictional or real literature, is my favorite form of literature.
On the one hand, I'm immediately flattered by the notion (given my intelligence and verbosity couldn't possibly compare to Schmidt's). I'm glad you find extra-textual supplements stimulating, even if the work itself doesn't speak to you in the same way. There are many novels that are conceptually fascinating to me but I don't find enjoyable to read, so I suppose I can relate.
Outside of experimental literary fiction, you touched on photography and the works of Lars Von Trier-photography being a subject I'm extremely interested in a consumer of pictures and owner of many art photobooks, and Von Trier being an auteur whose filmography fascinates me (I've watched Dogville dozens of times, though Breaking the Waves is my favorite of his films, and Melancholia I've seen only twice because of how depressed it makes me). Thanks for the work you do talking about great and enigmatic literature, Seth.
Thanks for the video. Hopefully Dalkey can get more Schmidt in print shortly, though their production schedules seem perpetually delayed. What's the book the the left of Devil House (I can read Cisco on the bottom)?
That is ANIMAL MONEY by Michael Cisco which I have conveniently reviewed on this channel: th-cam.com/video/ooayiZ9AYis/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=WASTEMailingList
Do you ever plan on discussing the school for atheists? I find it really weird how despite being the only one of Schmidt's typoscripts which is still readily available in English it also seems to be the only one of his works which virtually no one talks about.
Superb video. Your productions are carefully crafted and clearly much work is going into these. Keep up the greatness! (also have you come across the work of Miklos Szentkuthy? Maybe he's of interest)
Response to Gadir: I’m going to put a call in the Hollywood Reporter for a lead actor in the movie version of the story. If Jim Caviezel shows up for a casting call I’ll be able to better calibrate 😀
really enjoying your work on schmidt, thanks! surprised to see melancholia and not solaris as the film referencing that photograph: th-cam.com/video/ABIEQdBhpwA/w-d-xo.html of the two directors i'd bet tarkovsky is the more likely to know those photographs
Today we see see Neo fascist groups like CasaPound in Italy…Eco’s list may not be THE checklist, but fascist thought certainly lends itself to a psychological intake form
Thanks so much man, this has made my last couple of days. Amazing quality as always.

Love it, ordered Nobodaddy’s today online for 7 bucks used. Can’t wait for the rest of the Schmidt videos!
How was it?? Hopefully this comment didn’t find you so late

Are there more videos coming?

Great channel.
Another great literary discourse
A difficult one to wrangle with, but a satisfying one when all is said and done
