Exquisite Corpse is a literary online journal of books and ideas. The editor is the legendary award winning writer and National Public Radio Commentator...Andrei Codrescu! I really want to stop right here...because I am way out of my league. My intellect does not wrap around like his...my ideas and words are merely juvenile. But if you must you must....and I must! This man's linguistic arrangements is like beauty in words...flowing with brain juices and hurdles you into another level of consciousness. I can be reading his words and they begin piling up with no sense...then they are quickly released into understandable logic. In other words...he makes me think!One of Andrei Codrescu's books..."New Orleans, Mon Amour...Twenty Years of Writing from the City"...is on my wish list to read. The New York Times Book Review states..."One of our most prodigiously talented and magical writers."
"The city that dreams stories."...Andrei Codrescu...quote about New Orleans
FYI...Wikipedia encyclopedia gives this definition of exquisite corpse..."It is a method by which a collection of words or images is collectively assembled, the result being known as the exquisite corpse. Each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence, either by following a rule or by being allowed to see the end of what the previous person contributed."
Sounds brilliant...love the painting, xv.
