@DrDavidVernon One more reason to read it! Lispector's Passion According to GH really astonished me, and Agua Viva has been a rewarding challenge in Spanish, which is the closest I can get to her native language. Her life story too seems fascinating.

@CcPignat Impressionante! Le roman de Langan est inoubliable. Crocodile, c'est l'humour noir de Dostoïevski.

@ddillingworth The Third Policeman caught my eye! A pretty nifty set-up.

[Leonid Bilmes @LBilmes]

@DrDavidVernon That novel is truly a novel for this reason. It is immediate, immersive, liberating and terrifying all at once. Like life itself

[Leonid Bilmes @LBilmes]

@TheLuisPanini Great point about the foreground and background.

[Leonid Bilmes @LBilmes]

@maxdaniellawton Great book!

[David Lynch @DAVID_LYNCH]

David Lynch, our beloved dad, was a guiding light of creativity, love, and peace. On Monday, January 20th—what would have been his 79th birthday—we invite you all to join us in a worldwide group meditation at 12:00pm NOON PST for 10 minutes.

Let us come together, wherever we are, to honor his legacy by spreading peace and love across the world. Please take this time to meditate, reflect, and send positivity into the universe.

Thank you for being part of this celebration of his life.

Love,

Jennifer, Austin, Riley and Lula Lynch

@DrDavidVernon @SleetMd Kafkaesque is bandied about often, but here it is very apt. Writing that feels raw, forbidden, as if nobody thought of how writing can be before, tasting, probing experience with sensitive word-feelers. Insect pun notwithstanding.

[Leonid Bilmes @LBilmes]

@DrDavidVernon Great to hear about the book in preparation! Speaking of Kafka, is the Oxford your preferred English translation of The Castle? I plan to reread it and wanted to know which to try next

[Leonid Bilmes @LBilmes]

@DrDavidVernon A truly great writer.

@XAldanaReyes @MMUEnglishDept @IGA_Goths @gothicmmu @CUP_LitPerform @CambridgeUP @GothicStudies @BAFTSS_Horror @OGOMProject @SheffieldGothic @horrorhomeroom Congratulations! Look forward to read this!

[Leonid Bilmes @LBilmes]

@DrDavidVernon Thanks, this v. helpful! A pity, for sure. NYRB is indeed fantastic, and kudos to them for publishing and/or reissuing criminally under-translated authors.

Pues aquí está, tras lustro y medio descatalogado, reeditado en bolsillo de tapa dura. Por quince euretes.
En librerías a partir del 13 de noviembre.

Incluye el epílogo en castellano, visto que en meroítico no se lo leyó ni Shub-Niggurath. 🐐

Anuncio bolos en breve.

@PhysInHistory About as much sense as saying: There is no pot split between lions and pigeons. The statement pretends to deny the meaningless question driving it, the answer to which is already in the affirmative by the one asking, said asker belonging to either camp.

@TheUntranslated Rabelais/Cervantes.

@EtheHerring Ah of course, the boats 🙊 The conditions of proof might be lacking to affirm statements of existence definitely, in Wittgenstein’s sense, but this definitely IS the Seine.
