book lists the shelf I the shelf II WisCon Carl Brandon the shelf, part I I have many bookshelves, but this one is special. First, because it was a gift from a treasured friend and mentor. But it has grown into much more than that. At first, I began placing my most recently read books on its shelves simply because they were empty. Its deep shelves have long since been stacked and double stacked beyond capacity. Think of this bookshelf as a map. With this map, I (and now you) can follow a few of the paths my mind has wandered down. The lists below are by no means comprehensive, but perhaps a book you find here may lead you down new and interesting roads.

Mark Leyner By Matthew DeBord THE TETHERBALLS OF BOUGAINVILLE, by Mark Leyner. Harmony Books, 240 pages, $21. Mark Leyner might be this era's most frustrating writer: at times a fevered logophile crossed with a blistering satirist, he often refuses to submit to the mundane rigors of narrative, instead succumbing to the lure of hilarity. That tendency prevents him from getting to a higher level, that of a Nabokov rewired for the millennium. After 1995's Tooth Imprints on a Corndog , Leyner's fans might have been justified in speculating that he was gearing up for the longer, more conventional novel that would distance our reigning literary prankster from the cult persona he established with I Smell Esther Williams (1983) and My Cousin, My Gastroenterologist (1990), then dismantled in his 1992 breakout, Et Tu, Babe Leyner's latest novel, unfortunately, isn't that book. Unlike Martin Amis, who shelved some of his trademark comic inventiveness in order to wrestle with the larger saga of exile and events in Money , or Bruce Wagner, a kindred spirit who hit the ground running with Force Majeure , Leyner now reads like a writer in a rut, and he probably knows it. But when Leyner sees trouble, he resorts to what has worked in the past. The result is his most scathing novel to date, a masterpiece of concentrated disgust and madcap ridicule that expresses more than a smidgen of what could be seen as midcareer bitterness over his position in the pantheon of contemporary writers.

Excerpt from ET TU, BABE (by Mark Leyner) I had once intended to write an entire novel while having to urinate very badly. I wanted to see how that need affected the style and tempo of my work. I had found, for instance, that when I'm writing about a character who's in a Ph.D. program and I don't have to urinate badly, I'll have him do a regular three- or four-year program. But if I'm writing a novel and I have to urinate very badly, then I'll push the character through an accelerated Ph.D. program in perhaps only two years, maybe even a year.

From an interview with Mark Leyner My work evolves mostly by a constant process of accumulating information or language. These come from many sources, including stuff that is purely imagined, but there is no hierarchy in my mind that places imaginary materials above things I find. I’m always writing things down that I come across on the radio or television, so materials are accumulating every day It’s as if there’s this constant static or white noise around me that I can tap into. I’m a fanatic about having external things going on around me. I love having the television on I love the feeling of having all that information around me. Having all this access to information and sources of mental stimulation makes me feel very comfortable. This seems to be my nature. I guess I’m a child of the media age. Some people like trees and lakes. Well, sensory overload is my environment. This is what makes me feel serene. I despise the contemptuous attitude so many professors seem to have, for example, about television, rock and roll, and certain kinds of movies. Personally I could never see the difference between Popeye and Thackeray. Part of this attitude is motivated by my hatred of any kind of authority figures, especially academics, professors. I’d say my work presents the world the way people like you and me actually live in it, the way we receive and perceive it We live from minute to minute, with things constantly changing, kaleidoscopic. Our cultural matrix intensifies the whole natural process of things appearing in front of us and then disappearing you go eat some strange breakfast cereal and you read the back of the cereal box, while the tv is blaring out some other text and maybe your children are telling you some other kind of story. And all the while this white noise is filtering in from outside your window. The point is that our days are very fragmented, with a million things happening, affecting our perceptions, that have completely arbitrary relationships to one another.

La Repubblica/cultura_scienze: Leyner, Degno Figlio Dell'eta' Dei Media Translate this page Nel variegato panorama del movimento avant-pop mark leyner è senza dubbio lo scrittore che ha ottenuto i maggiori riconoscimenti, sia in termini di critica http://www.repubblica.it/online/cultura_scienze/avantpop/leyner/leyner.html

dall'immaginario televisivo alla cultura di strada Leyner, degno figlio Mio Cugino, il mio gastroenterologo Leyner si considera infatti un vero figlio dell'età dei media, se è vero, come dice, che si sente veramente a suo agio solo "quando la radio o la televisione sono accese e sul tavolino ci sono un bel mucchio di libri, giornali e riviste da consultare". Una stimolazione continua di cui si serve per scrivere pagine che miscelano con indifferenza le partite di baseball con le trattative per la pace in Bosnia, i Boston Celtics con le stimmate di Cristo. La densa scrittura leyneriana, più vicina alla poesia che alla prosa, è una pioggia di metafore che abolisce la trama e i personaggi, per giocare simultaneamente con diversi codici. "Sono cresciuto in un ambiente cittadino e ho visto che in uno spazio piccolissimo esiste ogni tipo di linguaggio", spiegava Leyner alcuni anni fa in un'intervista rilasciata a Fernanda Pivano. "Così, quando ho cominciato a pensare a che genere di scrittore avrei voluto essere, decisi di usare tutti i diversi linguaggi - della tecnologia, dell'amore, della politica, della pubblicità - per ottenere un tipo di scrittura completamente nuova, che mostrasse come i linguaggi non sono forse così diversi l'uno dall'altro". Avendo lavorato come pubblicitario di prodotti farmaceutici, Leyner ricorre spessissimo al gergo tecnico-scientifico tratto dalla biologia e dalla chimica, per raccontare situazioni grottesche di vita di strada.

ABOUT EYE eye - Book review 60 STORIES By Donald Barthelme Penguin, $14.99 paper MY COUSIN, MY GASTROENTEROLOGIST By Mark Leyner Vintage Contemporaries, $13 paper by JASON ANDERSON Two timely paperback re-releases with one important thing in common complete contempt for standard forms of prose. 60 Stories is a very comprehensive selection of Barthelme short stories between 1964 and 1980 (he died in '89). He didn't revolutionize the form as much as I hoped he would (Joyce Carol Oates still seems to exist), but he did make a profound impact. In the stories (the comprehensible ones, that is), Barthelme mixes up arcane knowledge, literary references and dissected clich,s into a brew that is heady, often confounding and always ingenious. Some day soon, he will get his due and be recognized as the most original American writer of the century. Then I'll throw the biggest block party you've ever seen. Since My Cousin, My Gastroenterologist was first published the year after Barthelme's death, it sets Leyner up nicely as the executor of Don B.'s estate. The much-celebrated pseudo-novel hurtles down the slipstream packed with medical jargon, high-low culture collisions and a near-complete disregard for narrative. In fact, its follow-up, Et Tu, Babe (also re-released by Vintage), may be a better novel just because it's more cohesive. But like Barthelme's stories, Leyner's debut is most impressive for the variety and cleverness of his ideas, so much so that whether or not they're slotted anywhere in particular is irrelevant. Neither meta-fiction nor MTV-fiction, My Cousin, My Gastroenterologist rocks.

ABOUT EYE eye - TOOTH IMPRINTS ON A CORN DOG By Mark Leyner Harmony Books/Crown/Canadian Manda, $26.95 cloth review by JASON ANDERSON Ever fallen asleep after eating a large anchovy pizza with The Learning Channel on the TV and woken up to discover a young, strapping valet giving you a pedicure and your head filled with the makings of the greatest play ever written? An epic Greek tragedy that centres on the overwhelming significance of liposuction and body building amid the trappings of consumer culture and the earlier, funnier films of Arnold Schwarzenegger, y'know, before he got into Strindberg? Me neither. And Mark Leyner would deny it if I suggested it to him. Then he'd beat me savagely. Tooth Imprints On A Corn Dog is, like its predecessor, Et Tu, Babe?, a book about the incredible fame Leyner has amassed since the success of My Cousin, My Gastroenterologist in 1990. Naturally, magazine editors stumble over each other to ask him to write articles some of the ones in this book have appeared in The New Yorker, Esquire Gentleman and, inexplicably, Elle. They are very funny pieces about beauty pageants, what to wear when you're on steroids and incorporating product placements in classic literature, among other topics. The hook for fans who are otherwise distressed at the current master of gobbledygook fiction (a poor excuse for a description, but it sounds better than "medical porn") releasing a compilation of articles they've probably read already, clipped and shrink-wrapped in order to mount them on the walls of their office cubicles, is "Young Bergdorf Goodman Brown." This is Leyner's adaptation of Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown," but the tale has been transplanted into the famed New York department store, which harbors, somewhere in its sub-levels, a secret meeting place for rabbis and extra-terrestrials.

58. Mark Leyner's Quirky World - Kristina Curkovic mark leyner s Quirky World. by Kristina Curkovic. If you ve never encountered mark leyner s writing, you might suffer a little bit http://www.umich.edu/~mrev/archives/1997/10-8-97/leyner.htm

Mark Leyner's Quirky World by Kristina Curkovic If you've never encountered Mark Leyner's writing, you might suffer a little bit of a shock, perhaps encounter a bit of confusion, and certainly enjoy quite a few laughs during your reading. To put it one way, Leyner could honestly be called a very "unique" writer. If nothing else, the title of this and of his other books might give you a quick glimpse into Leyner's odd world: his previous works include I Smell Esther Williams and My Cousin, My Gastroenterologist. The Tetherballs of Bougainville is a variety act book, including autobiography, screenplay, and movie review, all in one very funny package. Set during some obscure, imagined period, it's the story of Mark, a precocious, well­read and horny little seventh grader who, to demonstrate his odd character, is, at the beginning of the novel, on the phone with his agent during his father's execution by lethal injection. Mark is just about the weirdest adolescent hero you'll ever encounter in literature. Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn can't hold a candle to this kid; Ferris Beuller would fear him. Mark is a writer, philosopher, art lover and, above all, tetherball player. The beginning of the book sets the pace for the rest of Tetherballs: after surviving the execution, Mark's father is released from prison but finds that he's been sentenced to "New Jersey State Discretionary Execution," which means that he could be on a plane while "35,000 feet below, a New Jersey state trooper steps out of his car, aims a shoulder-held anti-aircraft missile launcher, and blows your 727 into friggin' curds and whey."
