@ryanhasbadtaste So much respect for you going to bat for The Lucky Star—I haven’t read it but bought it off a dollar rack and seems like most people don’t like it. Glad to hold out hope

@OedipasKvass @DSchu1760734 Guess you just gotta read Gorky or Gladkov?

Be sure not to read the politically nebulous Victor Serge.

@OedipasKvass @DSchu1760734 I have terrible news for you about the majority of the literature from Central and Eastern Europe

@OedipasKvass @DSchu1760734 Politically iffy?

[:: G. Alexander Hyphen .:. @alex_hyphen]

@OedipasKvass For sure an opinion is all good but to basically see the majority of his fiction as mid to bad but still commit to reading thousands and thousands of pages of it is just a wild prospect. I don’t need to read all of Wheel of Time to know it’s not for me

@uarkpress What is this about a new edition of battlefield where the moon says I love you !?

[:: G. Alexander Hyphen .:. @alex_hyphen]

@sybillicus @wastemailing Szentkuthy himself is said to have paid for the publication of the first edition.

@ZIssenberg @wastemailing Evelyn Scott is a big one—NYT reviewed EVERY single one of her books and snubbed her with no obituary when she died.

@maxdaniellawton As I remember, Shalamov also thought Solzhenitsyn to be something of an opportunist and grifter:

@Dalkey_Archive @mdimovich @AdamPCoulter @_ryanruby_ @NewYorker What were the specifics of Young's intentions? Very excited to have a 1 vol pb edition, no matter how long it takes.

@matthewzapruder it;s gonna be chip delany this year, finally.

@TheLuisPanini Yes! flipped through a little in library, but on first glance I was worried it was just another thoroughgoing bio a la Ellmann (which I loved, but read very recently, so not ready to read something like it again on the same person). I also love Cixous, will find a copy.

@maxdaniellawton With all the hype around this book really thought someone had found a lost prose work of Joseph Brodsky's. What's the pull here, aside from the length? Seems like Brodsky is one of those post 60s experimenters that not even FC2 fucked with.

@maxdaniellawton Guignol's Band huh? Never read past his second.

[:: G. Alexander Hyphen .:. @alex_hyphen]

@maxdaniellawton Just in time cuz I found a Spanish copy after years and years of looking figuring there would never be an English edition—oops
