As super Marcel put it. What the fuck world lit forum. There is sort of a depression going on. Most of the rocking star and fun guys are gone, long discussion about school evidence, less discovery, no esprit de corps, self centered opinions... Worst is, some interesting people came around but...

Why not. Just come back from from Lucian Freud in Centre Pompidou in Paris. Centre Pompidou - Lucian Freud - Art culture mus?e expositions cin?mas conf?rences d?bats spectacles concerts A great display of his works. I find exeptional his brush and knife work on faces and plants but to much...

Isaac Bashevis Singer Isaac Bashevis Singer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I have read the slave last year and liked it and having just finished The manor which i loved, i felt oblige to open his own thread to Mister Singer. It's already hard for me to write about simple books, so...

There is in Bolano 2666 a passage about classic errata in literature, i would have copied them here if i had a paper copy (mine was audio). Could someone with a proper copy find it ? they really were very good. I can sort of remember the one of Stendhal "His hands in is back he was pacing the...

After spending a while with Wolff old school, i started to realise that i could clearly find similarity with some other works and more than that, a sort of familly of authors both English and American. All with the same sense of subtle irony about their characters, not hard because in many ways...

I though of a thread for novels we want to say a bit more than in recently finish but not worth a thread on their own. Like Ysabel by Guy Gavriel Kay. One thing is, if you like Kay as much is i do/did, stay away from this. It's a bit like a Dan Brown, with investigation in churches and...

Maybe here or some other book place i remember someone wandering if Anna karenina had been set in recent years, the psychiatric side of her downfall would have been put forward. Asylium is the answer to that question and it's negation, because if passion and love can cause serious arm it can't...

I started Montedidio by Erri de Luca and so far so good. Something of Barrico in the light footed writing but not as fantastic.
