Going to Oregon for several days and bringing the following... way more than I'll have time to read, but I can never make decisions. I like to have multiple things in front of me when choosing.
~Period by Dennis Cooper
~The Other City by Michal Ajvaz
~Don Quixote: Which Was a Dream by Kathy Acker
~Phosphor in Dreamland by Rikki Ducornet.
...Although I still have a stack of short story collections to read, I feel myself gradually shifting back toward novels, albeit somewhat skinny ones, for the most part.
Anybody know the correct way to pronounce Ducornet?

e·jac·u·la·tion n. 1. The expulsion of seminal fluid from the urethra of the penis during orgasm. 2. A sudden short exclamation, especially a brief pious utterance or prayer. "Four figures emerged from this preoccupation with sex…targets and anchorage points for the ventures of knowledge: the hysterical woman, the masturbating child, the Malthusian couple, and the perverse adult." --Michel Foucalt

It's French. Du-wah-cor-nay.
That's a guess.
I've heard her read, and I'm pretty sure it's du-COR-net.
Unless the person who introduced her slaughtered the pronunciation, of course.
