Rolling new and forthcoming books // ILX is sad, alas! and I've read all the books

Read this, bitch!

Seriously impressive that it's been translated in full.

The chap who runs The Complete Review has been raving about this for a while. There's no way I'm ever going to actually read it, having felt that a few Scmidt novellas were enough of this guy for me, but I'm glad stuff like this still makes it into English sometimes. In my defence I did just buy a 600p Turkish novel (My Uncle Napoleon) claimed as that country's 'Tristram Shandy' (the central character is an Uncle Toby-style fantasist).

Assume you mean Persian not Turkish.

Fuck, yes I did

This is what happens when you boast about buying a book, but don't actually read it

I can't throw any stones here

sounds good. sebaldian.

Wow! Thanks for posting that, Scott.

lol. would read.

"Robert Gottlieb, the celebrated editor at Simon & Schuster, Alfred A. Knopf and The New Yorker, was a pale, bookish, sensitive, rumpled and vaguely mousy young man. His first father-in-law, a roofing contractor, took a look at him and said, “If I had a son like that, I’d take him out and drown him like a sick kitten.”

"How bookish was Mr. Gottlieb? At summer camp, as a child, he arranged to have The New York Times delivered to him daily."
