ND has been oddly quiet about the Krasznahorkai win. Hoping for some new editions and getting Seiobo There Below back in print.

Been breaking up Schattenfroh with short novels/novellas. Accidentally on brand for October with this run of despairing literature.

Thinking about yesterday’s photos from Palestine and the never ending footage of ICE terrorizing people while reading Ruprecht’s section in Schattenfroh.

What this book calls to mind—Barbara Molinard’s liminal echo chambers, Knausgaard’s death fixation in The Morning Star and My Struggle Vol. 1, Cartarescu and Marguerite Young’s expansive chattiness, Obscene Bird of Night’s fevered perspective, Kafka and Ligotti’s paranoia.
Started the big boy today. Amused at Catholic guilt ridden Nobody being lured in by Schattenfroh’s satanic graffiti.

The Nobel lit picks from 2022 onwards have all been writers dear to my heart. Very happy about Krasznahorkai. All his work is brilliant, but for the past year I’ve had Herscht 07769 stuck in my head as an emblem of our times.

Who is going to republish the work of Calixthe Beyala? Your Name Shall Be Tanga is one of the my favorite African novels. Her prose exists at the same intersection of violence and sublimity as Yambo Ouologuem’s and Dambudzo Marechera’s.

I rarely see them in the Nobel conversation but I’d love to see NDiaye, Ørstavik, Garza, or Tawada get one some day.

This is how I try to live my life. It gives me a deeper peace than anything else.
Not exactly surprised by Merve Emre's response to the question: "Where and When Do You Read ?" but: respect/admiration/envy. An ideal I only sometimes manage to approach.
