The moment at which pastiche appears

HISTORY IS WHAT HURTS

There’s something about an Ice Blue Aqua Velva man. I missed the ‘50s, until the ‘70s rolled around. Wow, what a difference a decade makes. Right on red? More like left entirely to my own devices. Cowboy hats & assless chaps: oh my. This is me chasing my American Dream. This is me chasing a dollar bill straight into the gutter. Sometimes it seems the only answer is no. Other times I give myself up utterly to this weekend-warrior crap. If I sound naive, then sue me--they said that in the ‘80s.

I like the form of this one a lot, which feels, uh, familiar somehow. Where pastiche becomes more than that is where the pieces more actively start pushing against each other despite the attempt to pastiche them (ah, everything can be a verb), because the sensibility (or whatever it is), starts jostling through, which is what's happening here. I mean, is that right? Do y'all know Gillian McCain's Tilt? She really knows how to make sentences like this lean against each other.

I'm really enjoying this blog. I'm going to have to STUDY how the upcoming pieces here tilt against each other. And I mean study in the most seriously tossed-off sense.

I don't know Gillian McCain's work, but somebody named reallycoolbooks is selling TILT for $3.95 on Amazon, so I will soon be checking it out.

I will have to check her out as well. We're so good at stealing, we steal from people we haven't even read yet...
