It’s a fantastic thing: the daily newspaper, when translated, amounts to a 900-page book. Every day. And it’s a book that’s written in every city and in every country, only to be instantly discarded in order to write a brand-new one, full of fresh stories the next day.
Kenneth Goldsmith’s poetics statement, “Being Boring.” His book—or shall I say tome—Day, is a transcription from a single edition of The New York Times, including the license plate letters from car ads. (via pantherhooves)
Makes me sad that I only really read the front page and calendar section (I read parts of the Wall Street Journal too but that’s a whole nother beast). Anyways, we all know it’s about the crossword puzzles.
