@alifeinbooks This sounds wonderful. A great review. I'm tempted to ask a friend who's traveling in the U.K. to pick up a copy for me. It doesn't come out in the U.S. until next year.

@alifeinbooks Thank you for the nudge to read Drayton and Mackenzie, to not let the page count dissuade. You were right. One of the best novels I’ve read this year.

@alifeinbooks I like the sound of Illusions.

@cathy746books @paul_mc_veigh Loved reading your review, Cathy. I’m intrigued by the singular voices you describe, along with the conflicts in the Circus area. And also, as one who writes for radio.

@IainSmithNZ It’s been ages since I read it, but I remember loving it. That Vintage paperback edition you have is gorgeous.

[Kassie Rose @longestchapter]

@TheUntranslated I think it’s much more fun to own all the books. Beautiful display.

@JacquiWine I’m reading the Olivia Manning. Ever since her Balkan Trilogy, I’m obsessed with her books. (Love your recommendations.)

@Bodyisturd @aliner @PushkinPress Stepping in here, but fiction, because I can’t forget it, “The Village Idiot” by Steve Stern, about Soutine, Melville House.

[Kassie Rose @longestchapter]

@TheLuisPanini Understood! Thanks for the guidance.

[Kassie Rose @longestchapter]

@ds228 @biblioasis Not on the level I'd want.

[Kassie Rose @longestchapter]

@ds228 This is my first Stefansson. @biblioasis sent me an arc for the edition they’re bringing out in February. I’ll definitely be continuing with this series! Should I read Your Absence Is Darkness?

[Kassie Rose @longestchapter]

@ds228 Totally agree.

[Kassie Rose @longestchapter]

@ds228 Love your stack here! The Stefansson is fabulous. I read it a couple weeks ago.

[Kassie Rose @longestchapter]

Among my mentions: "Driftless" @Milkweed_Books (I can't recommend it enough) and Jon Kalman Stefansson's beautiful "Heaven and Hell" to be released in February @biblioasis . Always a great @WOSUAllSides show with fellow panelist author @nickwhite1985
