#TheThingsWeHaveSeen “todo es fabulosamente seductor y extraño. Tan llena de historias e ideas que casi parece injusta. Uno de los mejores libros del año.” Palabras de #markhaber, quien desde Houston me entrevistó para la gran @MusicLitMag @FitzcarraldoEds https://t.co/tfjZKcvhO2

Tomorrow, celebrate the US publication of MR BEETHOVEN by Paul Griffiths (@disgwylfa), "a riddling, playful, and often very funny investigation of literary form." Here's your primer from Jon Day:

"To write is to dream while awake, to place oneself in a controlled dreamlike state where one advances by listening. "

[New Directions @NewDirections]

"DAG SOLSTAD, the strangest and most stupendous writer of Norway, has, over the last few decades, built up a small, discerning readership in English. And it’s looking for new members. This could be you ... his novels are mind-bogglingly brilliant."

[Fitzcarraldo Editions @FitzcarraldoEds]

'Writers with a complicated prose style don’t interest me, because they put themselves above the reader, they want to show they’re more intelligent ... and that to me seems like an abuse, a hangover, even, from patriarchal modes.' @FdezMallo @MusicLitMag https://t.co/N4TerjdPTo

[SoManyBooks @SoManyBooks24]

“For my money, Solstad is the contemporary writer most capable of expressing the death of the soul in our time. He’s also hilarious.”
In @MusicLitMag, Jan Wilm reviews Dag Solstad’s newly translated novel, “Novel 11, Book 18” - https://t.co/QXlayJIgiK

[Music & Literature @MusicLitMag]

"..., so that, after six years, I saw that I had the 500 pages of The Things We’ve Seen in my hands."

"It was then that I felt that the dead are never completely dead and that those of us who are alive are never completely alive, we live with them inside a single social network, which is the biggest network that has ever existed and that will ever exist...

[Music & Literature @MusicLitMag]

"...the one that joins the living and the dead. And I set to work writing something having no idea what it was or about its eventual scope. The narration itself led me to other places around the world and to other wars...

Jan Wilm on Dag Solstad, the author of "works of art which take you, dear reader, seriously...a positively optimistic thing in a world that might be beyond hope."

La compositora Kaija Saariaho describiendo la ruta que siguió en la lectura de escritoras (tomado de @MusicLitMag No.5). ¿Alguien por acá hizo algo similar? Ya me pasó lo que describe de Anaïs Nin y me da mucha curiosidad de leer a Simone Weil.

A lot of people already know how great this book is by @IneluctableQuak In mid-stride, I can see it is one of the most electric and funny novels from recent years. I can see my generation in it more than any other book I've read. https://t.co/IpfNmR9wHg
