Ludo Soma reads, listens to, looks at, and fantasizes about both real and imagined things that may (i) interest you, or (ii) repel you. On the morality spectrum, he skews predictably toward the a/im-moral quadrant - though he feels that his evergreen failure to dispel the accumulated weight of the guilt from his past (and hence, the present in perpetuum) should sorta buy him a Sisyphean hall pass at the gates of heaven when he dies. Or at least a laugh. Ludo likes books, records, and expensive objects of speculative value from a forgotten era (e.g., Western Electric theater horns). He likes sex but eh, not as much as before and in fact, mostly for the ludic and Dionysian idea of it: asobi. Ludo is an M&A banker and lives in NYC.
Sam Jones is currently exploring the relationship between language and art, an endeavor he expects will take less than a lifetime, but longer than the search for a perfect steak. Among his other obsessions are Swiss author Robert Walser, cities of all sorts, the history of science, the TLS, local news, and the nature of knowledge. He has an enormous shelf of poetry he refers to as his "cookbooks." He is not British, has never played in the “A” league, and has no association with the post office. Those are merely rumors that, unfortunately, he started. Sam writes for a cultural mag in Chicago.
