Default Re: Suggestions

I read it (Nadja) years ago, Irene. Liked it. But it didn't strike me as great. Didn't see it as essential. I like his poetry much more.

One of the best novels I've read in years is Peter Behren's The Law of Dreams. Couldn't put it down. Unique prose, a stirring story, and very well constructed.

Set in Ireland initially, during the Great Famine of the mid-1840s, it's an adventure story with much, much more to it than that.
