Ilustration During Books Albert Angelo

What strange language it is to read, this book. How peculiar, to me, my self, too, the reading. The book. This book. That I’ve held, in my hands, this book, my hands have held. Great fun, to read, too, this book, for me, myself, this book, it is. Wonder the punctuation, abundant, too, from McCarthy and Faulkner came? Wonder the syntax, not Dutch, Pennsylvanian or otherwise, too? (I’m going to throw the horse over the fence some hay). Right then, write, write on, read, read more. This read and that, the book, too, that one, above cited. And hurry. Then build, build, design, build then.

How many writers get to use the word aposiopesis? Everyone uses the concept, but few know the meaning (hell, yes, I had to look it up). And if you don’t believe me, well, I’ll—

One for the die-hards.

Easily four stars, probably closer to five. Screw it, five it is.

Assess Epithetical Books Albert Angelo

This is a breath of fresh air. Granted, the protagonist leads a tawdry, dilapidated life in between a shithole flat and a shithole school, but the writing is, particularly when one reaches the final section, uproariously honest. There are narrative techniques within Albert Angelo that would excite the most ingenious post-modern wit of today and yet this was written in the mid 60's. The only criticism I have of Johnson is the very thing that makes Albert Angelo wonderful: too much of himself, of

Reading Albert Angelo after having passed up the chance to do so around the time it came out, when friends were laughing aloud as they read it, was a confused experience: it would have been easier to enjoy when B.S. Johnson was alive, which is not at all to say that it's not very funny and unsettling now. The teaching experience calls to mind Stephen Dedalus' feelings of hopelessness in chapter two of Ulysses, transposed into multi-cultural London schools 75 years later.B.S. Johnson left only a

"-oh, fuck all this LYING!" Albert Angelo is...interesting. Maybe 5-6 years ago, I got really invested in the idea in reading all the experimental literature I could find, as I thought that the well had run a bit dry on more typical literary form. I guess after awhile your undergrad does that to you. Anyway, I bought the B.S. Johnson omnibus and this was the first work of his within it. It's also maybe his most well known, as it seems to embody a lot of what he does in his writing: experimenting

Johnson appears to set himself a lofty goal - that of bringing real life to the page. Not just real life stories of an everyday man who cannot get work in his chosen field and is haunted by a failed love affair, but capturing the moments of life itself. Everyone knows the feeling of thinking one thing while you are actually saying something entirely different, but how do you render that on a page? Albert Angelo is the would-be architect forced to accept short term work as a supply teacher. The

I know what shed say if she was a workingclass character in a bookBS Johnson, novelist and poet, was, until his death by suicide aged just 40 in 1973, the most prominent of the wave of British avant-garde writers that emerged in the 1960s (the recently 'rediscovered' Ann Quin who also committed suicide the same year, Alan Burns, Eva Figes among others). In literary terms he was very consciously influenced by Beckett, who was also an admirer of Johnson, and in looks and persona rather closer to

This one really was almost five stars for me, but Ive got to get back to being more prudent with that prestigious honor, and this certainly has room for improvement. Because of the nature of the book, Im going to have to write a two part review pretending that I had not finished the book at the writing of the first part of my review. Simple. Here goes.Adams review of pages 9-163 (Prologue, Exposition, and Development) while pretending to have not read beyond page 163:Although not a perfect
