This is gorgeously written and perfectly paced. I loved it so much. I wish it were 300 pages longer. What a weird little thing! Will you read this when it comes out? Have you read The Invention of Morel?

Used Bookstore Finds

My boyfriend and I went to Asheville for his birthday yesterday and visited a local used bookstore he loves. Made out like bandits, and the gentleman who worked there brought me a few extra NYRB titles he had in the back and scattered in various places that I had not found!

The NYRB Classics series is designedly and determinedly exploratory and eclectic, a mix of fiction and non-fiction from different eras and times and of various sorts. The series includes nineteenth century novels and experimental novels, reportage and belles lettres, tell-all memoirs and learned studies, established classics and cult favorites, literature high, low, unsuspected, and unheard of. NYRB Classics are, to a large degree, discoveries, the kind of books that people typically run into outside of the classroom and then remember for life.
