Faits Divers = Diverse Fates?? Felix Fenion wrote a Bolano. He burnt his Bolano. He is famous because he wrote the 20th Century's first novel in ashes. A requiem or a 'shoe-out' of our current 'Master', that might be a purgative delight if this list indulged in a series of 3 line novels bidding a fast good-bye to this particular, American 'George'. Well, probably not. I am looking forward to a season of global econ panic, more madness and (hopefully) an infusion of curative pragmatism coupled with imagination - not only rebuilding 'infrastructure' but the over all 'public structure', the arts and poetry included and, please, something bigger than an Ipod!

Inspired by the early-20th century French anarchist, art critic, and journalist Felix Feneon, who under the byline "Novels in Three Lines" anonymously published hundreds of faits divers in Le Matin during 1906, the blog will present, with periodic additions, epigrammatic observations--satirical and fanciful--related to U.S. and British poetry. For example: Impassive, impenetrable, offering only name, rank, and institution, the heroic neo-Oulipean M. Bök withstood three weeks of waterboarding in the secret chambers of the Poetry Foundation. Finally, he broke. An initial offering of 85 is now up, accompanied by visuals. More will be added, as inspiration strikes.
