You can be sure I'm reading along, with Jos Vos's translation into Dutch. A second time through book 1-2, the other two will be a maiden trip. Thank you for doing this!

Halbes Jahr vergangen, aber ich hab ihn gefunden und gelesen - toller Text zu einer meiner liebsten Schriftstellerinnen, vielen Dank! Auch toll die Tonaufnahme von Meike Rötzer zu hören.

I just read this yesterday evening - www.mono-konsum.com/index.php/mo... Very interesting to read about his 'reportage' style of writing. How he loves to immerse himself in the areas he writes about and how he has to force himself to leave them to start writing. I must go on a Price binge now.

If you're looking for a crime psycho romp of a novel outside the dime-a-dozen police procedure avalanche, John Burnside's GLISTER (2008) is your thing. Leave David Lynch in a disused chemical plant and this is what you get. Thanks to SherdsTube channel for putting it on my radar.

Can't wait to start this 1929 Roberto Arlt classic, translated by Naomi Lindstrom and Larry Riley. A novel in two parts, published together for the first time in 2022, preceded by insightful introductions by Riley and (see picture) publisher Rick Harsch, among others. @coronasamizdat.bsky.social 1/2

I do, listened to an episode or three, they are okay. The name Aap - Noot - Mishima comes from this wood board. From 1910 onwards, this was the standard way of learning to write in the earliest school years in the Netherlands.
