Great One submitted by jibkidder on July 22, 2022, 8:24pm Arrived at Calasso via the recommendation of Labatat after reading his "When We Cease To Understand the World", and I can see the influence immediately. I greatly preferred this to another one I checked out "The Unnameable Present". I feel like the author is more in his element here, where his riffing about the arts in the time of Baudelaire can find some many unusual paths.
