Shanghai-. Sharmin Du breezes into the Coffee Bean in Xintiandi. She's wearing Diesel jeans, her yoga bag slung over a shoulder. It's 3 o'clock on a Sunday afternoon, and she hasn't eaten yet, so she orders a smoothie and a scone. Her mobile phone buzzes; she answers, alternating between flirtatious Shanghainese and a more businesslike English. The pretty 32-year-old with round eyes and red highlights in her hair is living a life all but incomprehensible to her parents -with whom she lived until]]>http://www.infimo.net/kornblum/56kornblumSun, 13 Jul 2008 15:45:24 -0700http://www.infimo.net/kornblum/56
En las cosas que al principio son casi neutras, pero que se le revelan en seguida (a nosotros a la larga) como de una dulzura desgarradora, místico, el chino ha puesto su infinito, de exactitud y de gustación. El jade, las piedras pulidas y como húmedas, pero no brillantes, turbias no transparentes, el marfil, la luna, una sola flor en su maceta, las ramas de múltiples ramillas con hojitas delgadas, vibrantes, los paisajes lejanos y envueltos en una bruma naciente, la]]>http://www.infimo.net/kornblum/52kornblumTue, 10 Jun 2008 14:59:54 -0700http://www.infimo.net/kornblum/52

He had never had so naturally gifted a student, but his own discipline --which was really an escape artist's sole possession-- had not been passed along. He didn't tell them what he now privately believed: that Josef was one of those unfortunate boys who become escape artist not to prove the superior machinery of their bodies against outlandish contrivances and the laws of physics, but for dangerously metaphorical reasons. Such men feel imprisoned by invisible chains --walled in, sewn up in laye]]>http://www.infimo.net/kornblum/7kornblumWed, 21 May 2008 20:00:34 -0700http://www.infimo.net/kornblum/7
los mismos movimientos que le vimos hacer en el papel de Takeyama. El atroz dolor, fue el que él había previsto y en el que trató de instruirse cuando fingió la muerte? Había pedido a Morita que no le dejase sufrir mucho tiempo. El muchacho abate su sable, pero las lágrimas le empañan los ojos y sus manos tiemblan. Sólo consigue inflingir al agonizante dos o tres horribles cuchilladas en la nuca y en el hombro. "Dame!".

y el walkman de repente me parece una roca que llevo atada alrededor del cuello (y el sonido que sale de él, Talking Heads) y tengo que tirar el walkman en la primera papelera que encuentro, y luego me apoyo en el borde, la chaqueta Matsuda colgando del brazo, respirando pesadamente, mirando el walkman que sigue funcionando, mientras el sol me funde la espuma del pelo y hace que se mezcle con el sudor que me corre por la cara y puedo notar su sabor cuando me paso la lengua por los labios ]]>http://www.infimo.net/kornblum/5kornblumTue, 20 May 2008 19:41:39 -0700http://www.infimo.net/kornblum/5
The question raised by Life of Wu Hsun is fundamental in nature. A fellow like Wu Hsun,living as he did towards the end of the Ching Dynasty in an era of great struggle by the Chinese people against foreign aggressors and domestic reactionary feudal rulers, did not lift a finger against the feudal economic base or its superstructure; on the contrary, he strove fanatically to spread feudal culture and, in order to gain a position for this purpose previously beyond his reach, he fawned in every wa]]>http://www.infimo.net/kornblum/4kornblumTue, 20 May 2008 19:41:39 -0700http://www.infimo.net/kornblum/4
Time seems to pass. The world happens, unrolling into moments, and you stop to glance at a spider pressed to its web. There is a quickness of light and a sense of things outlined precisely and streaks of running luster on the bay. You know more surely who you are on a strong bright day after a storm when the smallest falling leaf is stabbed with self-awareness. The wind makes a sound in the pines and the world comes into being, irreversibly, and the spider rides the wind-swayed web. It happened ]]>http://www.infimo.net/kornblum/3kornblumTue, 20 May 2008 19:41:39 -0700http://www.infimo.net/kornblum/3
[August 1, 1925] Sochi 8/1/25 Com. Molotov, 1) I was told that Manuilskii sent L'Humanite the first draft of Trotsky's article for publication, not accidently, but on purpose. If that's true, it's an outrage. If it's true, then we are dealing, not with a "mistake," as you wrote me, but with the policy of a few people who for some reason are not interested in publishing Trotsky's article in its final edited version. This is unquestionably the case. This matter cannot be left as it is. I]]>http://www.infimo.net/kornblum/2kornblumSat, 31 May 2008 13:11:57 -0700http://www.infimo.net/kornblum/2
We've got to peforce withold the loving boy... And as Miller once said in one of his great novels- what did he ... that language is only necessary when communication is endangered. And you sit there bewildered, and Pinter who went further said "It is not the lack of communication but fear of communication." That's what the Goddamn thing is it's we fear - communication.
