Marbles by James Guida
A collection of lucid, whimsical, wise, succint and sometimes biting musings by a young Australian living in New York. Author James Guida revives an old form, the aphorism, in order to turn his eye to 21 century scenarios. The comedy of internet dating, email fiascos and improvised postmodern mores - whatever the subject, Guida's conclusions are independent minded and go against the grain.
“It takes a rare gift to write in the aphoristic form, which must be witty and modest at once, and must state in a fresh, arresting way observations which the reader will recognize at once as trueIt goes without saying that the aphorist must work out of an unusual perceptiveness and self-knowledge, and I am grateful to James Guida for this book, which I have read from start to finish and shall read again.” — Richard Wilbur
James Guida was born in Philadelphia in 1978, and grew up in Australia. He has written for various publications, including Agni, Orion, and The Yale Review.
