63.7 :: ‘lol. thx texas i will never love again.’ by willis plummer

‘lol. thx texas i wil never love again.’ by willis plummer //self-published, 2012

63.7

very minimal

LIVING UNDER WATER IS IMPOSSIBLE BUT I AM GOING TO TRY, SO HELP ME GOD.

don’t want to ‘quote’ this ebook much
because then the ‘entire’ ebook

will be in this review

willis plummer is obsessed, it seems
with ‘drowning’

or the sensation of drowning

or that scene in ‘the graduate’

that is repeated in wes anderson’s ‘films’

where bouyancy somehow becomes a metaphor for sustained experience through memory

and the bleakness of
//the ‘passage’ of time
//’the inevitablility’ of change/death
//the ‘imperfection’ of memory

or something

i find the brevity and rapid pace of ‘lol. thx texas…’ ‘weirdly’ affecting

the solemn acknowledgement of an inability to act, yet ‘some’ ability

seems ‘sweet’

seems ‘impulsive’ but ‘restrained’
seems ‘detached’ and still ‘desperate’

but it’s ‘just so ‘alt lit” to ‘rip off’ a ‘rip off’
and in his home state no less
