This is absolutely a New Directions book, and we think those of you who’ve fallen in love with Javier Marías or Roberto Bolaño or László Krasznahorkai as much as we did will agree. Wholeheartedly.

They better not make it sound TOO good, or people will just order the British version from Amazon’s marketplace. I wish they could push it out a bit faster than September.

I was feeling all mulligrubs but this larruping collection of words gave me a lump in my goozle pipes.
I may have to pungle down the money to get these books. I believe the latest volume is S through Izzard.

December is for Dalkey
God, or the Mayas, really wants you to stock up on Dalkey Archive books apparently. Dalkey is running its 10 books for $65 sale on its website and Amazon slashed half of Dalkey’s 2012 releases to $2 each.
I may or may not have 17 Dalkey Archive books arriving at my house in the next few days. I tell myself it’s okay because it only cost $80.00.
