Description

BLUE NOTES: When I was seven-years-old, my uncle Nigel was kind enough to take me to the movies with his two kids (my cousins). Apparently my running commentary was maddening. I talked so much through the movie that my frustrated five-year-old cousin Louis-Nicolas started crying. He turned to his father and said: -Does he ever shut up?- I like to think I've changed. But I doubt it. Because this book is largely a product of me being unable to shut up on Facebook. At present, Facebook's character limit on status updates is 63,206. Calling this a -limit- is vaguely ridiculous (like calling a big guy -Tiny-). You can now cut and paste the first 20 chapters of The Bible into a Facebook status update! But this wasn't always the case. Like Twitter, Facebook used to place limits on the size of status updates. If you wanted to articulate a thought more fully, you had to write a Facebook note. And since I've always been a rather long-winded guy, I ended up writing a lot of them (close to a 1,000). My six-year-old son Indie once referred to these Facebook notes as -blue notes- (a reference, no doubt, to Facebook's love of all things blue), and the name stuck. This book began as a series of blue notes, written on various topics, between 2008-2014. In The Joyful Wisdom (1887), Nietzsche rightly observes that -the way people write letters- will always be the true -sign of the times.- And how do we write letters today? Where is -the style and spirit- of them made manifest? In the aphoristic nature of the tweet, the rough and ready, martial practicality of the text, and the confessional intimacy of the Facebook status update. There is a kind of savage beauty to the literary culture of Social Media Land that charms me to no end. If Blue Notes has a goal, it's to convey something of that savage beauty.
