[Regan Mies @Rgm314]

For @LAReviewofBooks, I wrote about two newly translated (unsettling, outstanding) collections of Wolfgang Hilbig's early prose and poetry (from @TwoLinesPress & @sublunaryeds) https://t.co/wjFzh9WJz9

[Los Angeles Review of Books @LAReviewofBooks]

"Hilbig’s short fiction is nightmarish and anxiety-inducing, tales of disorientation, surveillance, and divided identity." @rgm314 reviews Wolfgang Hilbig’s “Under the Neomoon” and “Territories of the Soul / On Intonation." https://t.co/5cAhXiGo03

Interviewed Albert Eibl about his incredible Verlag: "...a playing field, networking arena, and platform that makes the wrongfully forgotten works of earlier days newly­­––or in some cases, for the very first time––accessible to a broad, historically interested reading public."
