Favorite titles:

1. Blood Wedding

Can't possibly be as good in Spanish. Gets extra power from bloodletting, from wedding's homophony with wetting (in Midwesternese anyway), even from the dwed in the middle--Elmer Fudd for dread. The bl-- is like a spurt too, an eruption from nowhere, the --d its landing on your shirt. Wedding is the secondary dribble, inging into the dirt. Stark vomitous wet ruination death title. Love it.

2. He Knew He Was Right
3. Everyone Says I Love You
4. Bitter Moon
5. Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius

Because how could he possibly do it justice and he does.

There were others, what were they.

Oh:

6. Bleak House

Because of what it comes to mean.

7. Love and Death
8. How to Live. What to Do.

Forgetting lots of great Stevens ones doubtless.

9. She Done Him Wrong

I like that there's just one way to say it, shaking your head, firmly, no good will it come of it-ly. Smackin' that D off your palate.

10. Bad Day at Black Rock
