Published by Futurepoem<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in 2020, it\u2019s a mercurial archive of the Reagans\u2019 silence on <small>AIDS<\/small> and the era\u2019s innumerable other devastating failures, among them Iran-Contra and the expansion of the war on drugs. In high-camp imagined encounters with Nancy Reagan, Crandall deftly traces the era\u2019s iconography of concealment\u2014Nancy in her immutable trademark red, her high-necked collar, her tartan blazer, her little nautical blouse, her gloves\u2014as he lists the names of friends and public figures dead from <small>AIDS<\/small> and its complications. Grief and rage churn at the center of these encounters, each of them shaped by speculative archival work and a biting queer sensibility. It\u2019s a beautifully inventive experiment in historiography and a reminder of the enduring political aesthetics of obfuscation and silence: the particular politeness that meets with mass death. And like everything Futurepoem puts out, as an object it\u2019s gorgeous\u2014bright red, impossible to miss. <\/span><b>\u2014Oriana Ullman\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am going through a lot of changes in my life, all at once, and as usual I am trying to resolve this by imposing haphazard measures of discipline. Ordered mornings are tantalizing\u2014alarm clock, reading, running, shower, skincare, dressing in the kind of clothes I don\u2019t even own to catch a train into the city. I am always trying and failing to establish different versions of such a routine, and by the end of the day it normally breaks down altogether. But there is one thing I have been doing most days for the last few weeks, since I have moved at least temporarily into a little attic room that overlooks the highway and has nothing on the walls. In the morning, I\u2019ve been reading a few pages of <a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/1531\/9780307387257\">John Cheever\u2019s journals<\/a> while I drink my little coffee; this feels virtuous and luxurious, because it is pointless but I love the prose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I first read an excerpt from these journals in college, before I\u2019d read anything else by Cheever, and now that I have I can say with certainty that the journals are leagues better than the stories, a whole different category of thing. The critic Dustin Illingworth <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2018\/08\/23\/vodka-for-breakfast-on-the-melancholy-of-cheevers-journals\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wrote<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the journals center on the themes of \u201cGod, sex, guilt, and nature\u201d and \u201cmanage to instill genteel ennui with the anguished moral passion of a Russian novel.\u201d They are sort of lush, pastoral, romantic, rough, and full of gestural lists: \u201cThe calendar of flowers, gin bottles, steak bones.\u201d There are philosophical declarations\u2014\u201cWhen the beginnings of self-destruction enter the heart it seems no bigger than a grain of sand\u201d\u2014and there are self-admonishments and resolutions\u2014\u201cDo not drink. Do not et cetera et cetera.\u201d It is strange, maybe, to be trying to create some order in my life by reading the thoughts of someone who was consistently failing to do the same. But I have been sticking to it anyway, underlining the good parts and sometimes coming back to them: \u201cThe little boy, running barefoot over ash heaps, the warm ash heaps in the cool evening, as we used to do. Thought of last year\u2019s passionate autumns where love obscured the crack in the ceiling and the dust under the bed and how this terminated in spitefulness and bewilderment.
