So far, I haven't yet purchased anything translated in this particular week, but I can claim two easily memorable novels from past weeks
- Omega Minor by Paul Verhaeghen, a fictional cavalcade of events and characters living through the Atomic Age, from Los Alamos to Skinheads; and
- Dreams of My Russian Summers by Andrei Makine, easily the best novel I have read in the past couple of years.
and I am leaning toward purchasing one for next week (or sooner)
- The Stream of Life by Clarice Lispector
This week, though, has been John Banville,
Athena and
Shroud.
