Home | Readings: Cunegonde

May 3, 2009

One of the first blogs that I read and linked to is called Cunegonde, an opaque, minimalist dribble of words that issues from somewhere out there called San Francisco. I don't know how to explain it, except to say that the author is present throughout, though, paradoxically, also absent.

Plus, if you read it, you get stuff like this:

You put the cut-up chicken in a pot with the green garlic, big chunks of celery root, yams, carrots, and a little thyme, bay leaf, bacon, and mustard, seal the pot to the lid with luting pastry, toss it in the oven, and forget about it for 90 minutes. Then you take it out, let it rest for about 10-15 minutes, and break the seal (oh, the drama), and have a lovely, moist and fragrant meal. A salad after, and then a tangelo sorbet. And a nice Morgon to drink with the chicken.

I think that was a recipe, but it also reminded me of a fantasy that I once had about writing a novel in the second person. "You walk into a room ..."

Good reading.
