926 Years review + more III
Firstly, 926 Years by Kyle Coma-Thompson and I has been reviewed at Equus Press by David Vichnar. It is part of Vichnar’s fairly comprehensive look at Sublunary Editions‘ output in the first half of 2020. We have had some lovely and lively reviews of our book, and this one is no different. This line was Read.

926 Years reviews + more II
Couple of recent reviews have appeared and both really get to the meat of 926 Years. Read That Nevertheless Sky We All Live Below by Edwin Turner. Read An Obscure Constellation by Daniel Davis Wood. Turner and Davis Wood follow different paths but come to similar conclusions. From David Wood: “To all intents and purposes, Read.

926 Years reviews + more
Heartening to see a couple of reviews appear for 926 Years within a few days of its release. Read Wonder Years by Frank Garrett. Read Older Than Yesterday, Younger Than God by Joe Schreiber. Read That Nevertheless Sky We All Live Below by Edwin Turner. Sublunary’s publisher Joshua Rothes has been interviewed at my old Read.

On Anne Serre’s The Fool
I had the serious pleasure of reviewing The Fool and Other Moral Tales by Anne Serre for Music & Literature. Picked up The Fool on a whim (cover got me, and the fact it was published by New Directions), thoroughly enjoyed what Serre was up to, and immediately ordered The Governesses. Wanted more, but this Read.

On Fleur Jaeggy’s I Am the Brother of XX
My review of I Am the Brother of XX by Fleur Jaeggy (translated by Gina Alhadeff and published by And Other Stories + New Directions) is now up at The Lifted Brow. Jaeggy was a Schwob fan (she rewrites his life in These Possible Lives) so having this review appear a day or two after Read.

On Marcel Schwob’s The King in the Golden Mask
My review of the The King in the Golden Mask by Marcel Schwob (translated by Kit Schluter and published by Wakefield Press) has been published at Music & Literature. Enjoyed this fine little collection – the first complete English edition – so much I thought writing about it could be useful, to – as usual Read.

On Three Pathways to Get Anywhere
I’ve reviewed Three Pathways to Get Anywhere (Except When There is a Dead End) by Anna Kostreva, a work of experimental nonfiction published by Rough Beast, for Minor Literature[s]. Not an easy review to write (not that reviews are ever easy). Think I’ve said everything I want to say about the book in the review, Read.

On ‘I’
Review 31 has published my review of the excellent ‘I’ by Wolfgang Hilbig. I hope it’s implicit in the review, but to state it explicitly – I do like a book that arrives as a book; I’m curious about how much of this is the way it has been framed by Seagull Books in their edition, Read.

On The Illogic of Kassel
“Didn’t I come to Kassel precisely to seek the aesthetic instant?” My review of The Illogic of Kassel by Enrique Vila-Matas (translated by Anne McLean and Anna Milsom and published by New Directions) has been published at Words Without Borders. Needless to say, it’s quite the thrill to have written for an organisation that champions Read.

On Trieste by Daša Drndić
My review of Trieste by Daša Drndić is up at 3:AM Magazine. In case I don’t make myself clear in the review, Trieste is an exceptional novel. It’s been some time since I read anything with this kind of power, or something that felt so much bigger than me and my neighbourhood; I don’t mind Read.
