Gangsterrap-udgaven af Forsoms Bukdahls Bet-vinder MANHATTAN - byskrift set fra den farligste busrute, the B46, i New Yorker, fra klumme i The New Yorker af Ian Frazier:
If you get on the route's southern terminus, by the maill, you're almost at Jamaica Bay. Mill Basin, an arm of the bay, comes up at the maill's back entrance. Hurricane detritus straggles along the chain-link fence, a sea breeze blows, clouds drift above. To ride the B46 north on Utica Avenue is to feel the city accumulate and intensify on both sides. "Bus operators are protected by New York State law. Assaulting a bus operator is a felony," a recorded voice says. The B46 passes EZ Pawn Corp., Baby Genius Day Care Center, Miracle Temple Church of God, Cameo Auto Body, Victory Tabernacle of Praise, Tree Stump Barber Shop, Beulah Church of God Seventh Day Inc, , the Lingerie Zone, Sinister Ink Tattoo & Piercing, Brooklyn for Jesus 7th Day Adventist, Rag Top Lounge, Holy Order of Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church, Grace Church of the Unborn, Bobby's Dept. Store, Sneaker King, Saint Jude Religious Items. Tropical Breeze Car Wash, First United Church Jesus Christ Apostelic Inc., Yahya Hardware & Discount Store, Plain Truth Temple of Praise, Sunny Corner Restaurant, King Emmanuel Missionary Baptist Church, 3-star Juice Lounge, Eglise de Dieu, Asian Yummy House, Bwyars and Hedges Youth for Christ Ministry, Pawn Rite, and New Hope Healing Series (Space Available for Worship).

Ekstrapost fra Brooklyn
Vladimir Nabokovs The Original of Laura
(Købt under oplæsning ved Jonathan Lethem i Greenlight Bookstore - meget kedelig oplæsning!)
Three 5 (= 1 index card)
This is Flora of the close-set drank-blue eyes and cruel mouth recollecting in her midtwenties fragments of her past, with details lost or put back in the wrong order, TAIL betwe(e)n DELTA and SLIT, on dusty dim shelves, this is she. Everything about her is bound to remain blurry, even her name which seems to have been made expressly to have another one modelled upon it by a fantastically lucky artist. Of art, of love, of the

difference between dreaming and waking she knew nothing but would have darted at you like a flatheaded blue serpent if you questioned her.

Tidsskriftet Fence, winter 2012-13
- fra Noah Eli Gordons bidrag "10 problems":
She writes a stunningly accurate review praising the reclusive novelist's long-awaited new book. Upon its publication, a key sentence of the review contains an error of omission that, while minor, reverses her intended meaning, rendering the piece a damning take on the book. Still, there is near universal agreement to her reviews stunning accuracy. The problem is, as any good narrator knows, accuracy is never stunning.
