From Ron Sillimans’ blog (http://ronsilliman.blogspot.com/) I learn that Gilbert Sorrentino has died a few days ago. I was just reading his Splendid Hotel, a book of short prose sketches, almost poems, about the 26 letters of the alphabet. Very beautifully written, very precise. Sorrentino is best known for his “postmodern masterpieces” Mulligans Stew and Aberration of Starlight. There’s still so much good stuff to read…
