It is difficult to be rational about the Amazon. In person, just as in the stories we tell about it, the river system and surrounding jungle presents as a kind of netherworld. Not entirely based in reality, nor exactly divine. A land of myth, magic. A symbol, even. A purgatory, perhaps, where mighty men are made mad by their ambitions, by crazed dreams. Visions too big, too strange for mere mortals. Here, in the jungle, this kind of magical portal — the source of all abundance, the very heart of mother nature, and her purity, divinity, wisdom. Some of the best of these stories make a symbol of their protagonists too — a crazed European standing in for the entire belligerent frenzy of colonialism, trying to build an opera house in the jungle, to push a ship over a mountain, to bulldoze paradise, in other words, to air condition Eden.
Throughout my childhood, there seemed to be a constant stream of stories about miraculous scientific breakthroughs extrapolated from plant life found in the jungle, or of disastrous endeavors undertaken in search of them, of the deleterious effect development was having on the indigenous population, alongside discoveries of uncontacted peoples. Stories about the Amazon seemed to be so plentiful, and follow such a consistent thread that they began to pile up on themselves, so that they very often became telescoping missions, about one expedition made in search of another, previous expedition — self-reflective missions constantly circling back on one another back into the mists of time. All of them, of course, looking for a miracle of some sort. A city of gold, in many cases. The cure for cancer. The god particle, the final fix, ‘telepathine,’ as I think Burroughs called it. A cure for our civilized minds. And, ultimately, transcendence, immortality, meaning, the end of all stories.

Deni in Venice 🎭

“.. I may still not be able to solve the riddle of The Night Porter, but I am old enough know to know better, old enough not to think that travel, or even a grand perspective shift, will bring with it some revelation about the way the world works, or suddenly cast light on a secret to humanity. Still, in June of this year — as the world seemed to be throwing itself at all of the old tormentors, into sadistic and masochistic fervor — I went back to Vienna, back to the Sacher, to see if I might look on our lives now as if through opera glasses turned the wrong way around, to see if I might see the present with some of the clarity and elegance with which Zweig wrote of his terrible era. I went back to Vienna looking for love and mysteries, in search of a city built partly of noir and the rest by fairy tale. I went back to Vienna in search of the rationality of the Ringstrasse, for the hallucinatory elegance of the secessionists, for the decadent detailing of Hapsburg architecture, for Schnitzel, and for all of that opulent silver and crystal. I went back to Vienna in the hopes of seeing the world anew.”
“A Waltz for One” — one of my stories in the new @neptune_papers — is out now, and no one puts together the weird stories I do like @williamsdaytona always so so incredible to see them come to life. Hope you’ll grab a copy xoxox
