Author Etgar Keret and journalist and editor Dov Alfon have started a new intiative called storyvid, an attempt to create the literary equivalent of a music video. We bring you storyvid’s first production, a four-minute pilot based on Keret’s story “What Do We Have In Our Pockets?” Goran Dukić of Wristcutters: A Love Story (also based on a Keret story) directs. The short was selected to screen in the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, which runs through the end of this week.

“Great short stories and great jokes have a lot in common. Both depend on what communication-theorists sometimes call “exformation,” which is a certain quantity of vital information removed from but evoked by a communication in such a way as to cause a kind of explosion of associative connections within the recipient. This is probably why the effect of both short stories and jokes often feels sudden and percussive, like the venting of a long-stuck valve.”

theparisreview:

“When I was a young man I was always hunting for new metaphors. Then I found out that really good metaphors are always the same. I mean you compare time to a road, death to sleeping, life to dreaming, and those are the great metaphors in literature because they correspond to something essential. If you invent metaphors, they are apt to be surprising during the fraction of a second, but they strike no deep emotion whatever. If you think of life as a dream, that is a thought, a thought that is real, or at least that most men are bound to have, no? ‘What oft was thought, but ne’er so well expressed.’ I think that’s better than the idea of shocking people, than finding connections between things that have never been connected before, because there is no real connection, so the whole thing is a kind of juggling.”

—Happy birthday, Jorge Luis Borges, who would have been 113 today.

Earthworm

Eating it had been a bad idea, but what else could she have done? Everyone was looking. Darren Paragreen was looking.

Her fork battled with the squirming worm and struggled to prong its slippery skin. At last she twisted it, spaghetti-style, and clamped down hard. Udon noodles udon…

Gold Panda ‘An Iceberg Hurled Northward Through Clouds’

Just discovered Gold Panda, and very much like what I’ve heard. The video consists of excerpts from Tale of Tales, a Russian film from 1979 by Yuriy Norshteyn. When I was young, eastern European animations were often shown between the programmes you wanted to watch. Presumably, they were a cheap way to fill airtime. They looked a bit rubbish, but drew you in nevertheless, and at night - alone in the dark - it was those images which crept back into your mind.

“Learning to write fiction, we learn to listen for our own acquired sense of what feels right, based on the totality of the pleasure (or its lack) that fiction has provided us. Not direct emulation, but rather a matter of a personal micro-culture.”
