Floodlights and Goalposts

An online commonplace book

Sap is a dangerous enemy of the keyboard.

As read from the short story Free, from the Night Train collection. I read a Henry Oliver tweet today that asked: what is your favorite fiction you’ve read this year? This entire collection by A.L. Snijders would be my answer.

The stories don’t always make sense, a stream of consciousness type. But I enjoy every short morsel.

Hope Lydia Davis has another translation of Snijders’ stories in queue.

Snijders, A. L.. Night Train. United States, New Directions, 2021. pg 81
