The Supreme Orchestra
The Supreme Orchestra | David Turgeon
3 posts | 1 read
We know how Simone met the man who will become, for a time, her fourth husband. We know what she does (artist), her age (older than she looks), her friends (a veritable menagerie), her habits (frustrated homebody). What remains to learn are the things she still doesn't fully understand herself, like her role in the affair of the Port Merveille diamond, also known as the Supreme Orchestra. The Supreme Orchestra is many things at once: a geopolitical thriller, an art-world expos, a digressive social study, a mischievous parody. In the line of master ironists like Walser and Nabokov, with a comic timing reminiscent of Herg and a Flaubertian infatuation with le mot juste, David Turgeon has created an oeuvre like no other in Quebecs fertile literary scene.

My Victoria Day order from Coach House Books arrived today! (You *might* have a book buying problem if you completely forget about books you‘ve ordered less than a month after you‘ve ordered them.🤦🏻‍♀️) Anywho... #bookmail #crankyqueensale

“We dread the quaint, the tubed lawn furniture. We dread the empty knots of language. We twist them, stack them for kindling. We dread the time bombs, inevitable, random”

Got this lovely from the Seattle Public Library and I‘m very excited to read poetry again.
