Favorite books 2021

1. Patricia Lockwood, No One is Talking About This - as an internet addict and pro-abortion parent this novel was deeply relatable, and left me in a puddle of tears. On the internet: “To be involved in a consensual hallucination of normalcy is much worse than being mad.”

2. Miranda Popkey, Topics of Conversation - sultry dialogues from the wine cellar in this formally inventive 2020 novel. Like when the Reality TV camera pans away and you still hear the drama, only the drama is real.

3. Avner Landes, Meiselman: The Lean Years - the story of a man who works at a public library and wants a better parking space. A young Joel & Ethan Coen should bring this to the screen. Made me think about the word circumambulation, the deity the sentence. I read this novel when I thought I was dying from OG covid and felt okay about it being the last book I would read.

4. Christine Smallwood, The Life of the Mind - a study of ambient grief, and an urgent reminder the mind/body problem is a woman’s issue. Textbook for writing in the close third person. I guess that’s the life of the mind.

5. For Now, Eileen Myles - minor work but still Myles for now. Read this lying on my back on the floor, wishing I was as cool as Eileen Myles.

6. Brooks Sterritt, The History of America in My Lifetime - deeply funny and moving quest for a man doing an impression of himself. Tender and over too soon, like the late Brahms on the turntable. Read this at the River House. Killed a few mosquitos with it, but not enough.

7. Lauren Oyler, Fake Accounts - This I-do-this-I-do-that novel reads like a true friend, an honorary ex-boyfriend. Choicest first word: consensus.

8. Greg Grandin, From the Frontier to the Border Wall in the Mind of America - A cogent survey of this well-known story that America was like, Iraq was pretty boring—it gave us swell Kathryn Bigelow flicks but little else. So Donald Trump is like: gals, gather round my wall. I’m bringing Indian Country back on the inside where it belongs. America roars.  

9. Amitav Ghosh, The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable - read this 2016 book in Cafe Luigi on Clark Street. Things aren’t looking so good for the planet but at least we’re getting good works out of it.  

10. Jack Kerouac, Visions of Cody - This “novel” written over decades is a smarmy mess at times, and a reminder that the prophet is also the servant. Felt like I was at the right age to read this, three years younger than Kerouac when he died. Read this at Calo Ristorante and the Farm House.

11. Gary Indiana, Do Everything in the Dark - Eternally under-the-radar 2003 New York novel about la vie bohème. Wish I would have read this right after college. Read it this year, tanning on the deck, waiting for a plane crash. 

12. Charles Valle, Proof of Stake: An Elegy, a longer poem about coming to terms with life after death. Read this during a hard day at work and it made me feel better.

13. Jon Lindsay, Body High - Instant Classic medium cool LA novel. Stupendous editing. Belongs on that shelf near the register so I don’t steal it.

14. Raven Leilani, Luster - Hard, like a cracked diamond. The first debut novel I’ve read since publishing Jenny in Corona that I like as much as Jenny in Corona. Rode the bus for no reason to concentrate on this one.

15. Kate Zambreno, Heroines - You’ll never look at “Once Again, to Zelda” in the same way. Read this at the pool and in the pool.

16. Gary Lutz, The Complete Gary Lutz - One of those books where you learn the word “wibbling” means “speaking or writing vaguely at great length.” Read this at the dining room table under a banker’s lamp.

17. The Old Testament Book of Samuel - one of the first novels, they say. The story within that most typifies how I feel about society right now is when David comes leaping and dancing home from the wars, like he just bought back his stocks, and his wife Michal stands in the doorway hands on hips, muttering, what the fuck is he so happy about.

Clark Outsourcing in Clark Philippines

Clark, Philippines - BPO outsourcing companies in the Philippines enable businesses around the world to improve their customer satisfaction rating and gain that competitive edge over their competition. Cost effective, trustworthy, fully competent and transparent are just some of the qualities that are used to describe the Philippine's outsourcing industry.  According to Zack Williamson, Owner of Clark Outsourcing, once you combine those characteristics along with the fact that the country continues to stay current with trends in technology, according to Tholons Service Globalization the Philippines is in the top 10 for offering digital services; it is no surprise the worldwide popularity being gained by BPO outsourcing companies in the Philippines.

Here are some key attributes that give Filipinos the edge when it comes to the BPO industry:

Quality Service

Russell Meiselman, VP, a native of LA has been working for many years in the Philippines. "Filipinos are very welcoming when it comes to helping others. They love to communicate with other people and give their undivided attention when speaking to a customer. Thanks to this great culture and positive attitude it makes customer service come as second nature to them".

Communication Skills

Language and culture are probably some of the biggest factors why companies choose to outsource to the Philippines. English is the language used by teachers in school and the country currently has a 92.6 percent literacy rate which makes it one of the largest English speaking countries in the world.

Labor Costs

Filipino salaries are significantly less than those of other countries due to the low cost of living in the country. Even with the low salary the quality of service is still on par compared to companies in-house employees. When using BPO outsourcing companies in the Philippines businesses get to have their cake and eat it too.

Businesses around the world have more choices than ever when it comes to getting a specific service accomplished through outsourcing. The Philippines continues to be in the top 3 for most categories important to choosing an outsourcing destination.  The BPO industry in the Philippines was responsible for $25 billion in revenue or 10% of their economic ouput in the year 2017 and is expected to increase to covering 15% of the total global outsourcing market by the end of 2018.  Highly skilled, service-oriented, educated and English speaking workforce is creating confidence and giving the opportunity for more businesses around the world to connect with BPO outsourcing companies in the Philippines.

Miracle Mid-Century Makeover | Before & After Pics

Keith Zabel and Randy Shemaitis purchased this Jack Meiselman designed home in the Sunmor neighborhood of central Palm Springs in early 2012. Meiselman's firm competed with the better known Alexander homes.

The 1960 property suffered through a series of unsympathetic renovations over the years and lost it's original modern charm. The new owners rolled up their sleeves and spent eight months restoring the post & beam structure from top to bottom. The result was nothing short of spectacular! The property regained it's true mid-century modern style and looks as fresh as it did in 1960 (even better?). Somebody give these guys the key to the city!
