Hi, all--

Sorry to bomb you with emails today. You'll find attached "Porcus Omnivorous," a Prcic story published in McSweeney's a few years back. Here's one of my favorite passages from his novel:

"We should show the truth with all the mistakes of our perceptions. Fuck aesthetics! Pretty is a lie. We shouldn't cut, revise, rewrite. We should rave and ramble. The truth is chaotic and it makes no sense" (Shards 101).

Oh, okay, here's another good one, on memory:

"Moments die as they pass and as they do their cadavers are dunked into specimen jars full of formaldehyde where they float with eyes shut and little fingers perfectly curved, as if they are alive, holding on to something" (Shards 172).

Hope you enjoy!

Best,

Margaret
