Nottingham by night.

"BLIZZARD

the soft economy of ghosts;

on the couch,
we note the sensuousness of the phenomenon,
whose cosmos of cotton ensconces
coffeehouses, townhouses, towns:
the gusty monotony of the tempest,
then the monotone hush of footsteps on snow"

"Every novel in the past five years has the same ending: all the characters turn out to be aspects of the same person, who is in turn a sliver of the subconsciousness of a cosmic mollusk.

ENOUGH.

Not every novel needs the gestalt cosmic mollusk ending. I'm sick of the obligatory dreamslimetrail."
