Haha, I love stuff like this. Must make a mental note to scrounge up the tales.

I got the Ponzi book.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 14 May 2004 22:48 (twenty-one years ago)

you didn't buy it in some sort of dubious profit-making scheme did you?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 14 May 2004 22:48 (twenty-one years ago)

ned, have you read the big con?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 14 May 2004 22:49 (twenty-one years ago)

That I have not. Do tell.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 14 May 2004 22:51 (twenty-one years ago)

david maurer was a linguist in the 1930s who set out to make a study of underworld slang. specifically he began to focus on confidence men, and ended up writing what amounted to an ethnography/history/linguistic analysis of the con man subculture as it existed then! unbelievably fascinating and really well-written to boot!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 14 May 2004 22:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I want every one of these

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Friday, 14 May 2004 22:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I do like the sound of that, Slocki!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 14 May 2004 22:57 (twenty-one years ago)

*swoon*

i want these

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 14 May 2004 22:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I so had to resist not buying all three at Pegasus yesterday. It's a bonus that they also have a quite wonderful aesthetic going for them.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 14 May 2004 23:00 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah they look niiiiiice. how much?

What does Luc Sante have to do with this?

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 27 January 2005 21:14 (twenty years ago)

A love of thieves, scoundrels and lowlifes.

Dude following that original link was so confusing to me, oh my god. I never saw this thread before, how disappointing.

Since Luc Sante is invoked in this thread, I'll link an older blogpost from Mike McGonigal here to note he has a collection of Sante's essays coming out later in the year, Kill All Your Darlings. Having only just gotten around to Sante's essay writing (yeah yeah, I'm slack), I gotta say this is going to be a treat and a half.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 03:11 (eighteen years ago)

oh cool. i agree. treat point five.

The great Luc Sante, who has so long navigated time, space, and much else, has joyfully announced on instagram she is transitioning and is now called Lucy. I wish her luck, happiness, and many more years of work.
