Pygmalion: With Annotated
George Bernard ShawArmin Rosen1) This record is like, an anti-crowd pleaser. He really just did whatever he wanted to on this one, with no apparent inner need for people to love it. It's his Blond, basically. Or maybe his Pygmalion (the Slowdive record, not the George Bernard Shaw play)

Transit
Anna SeghersArmin RosenI don't like being A Hater, but the closing paragraph of the introduction to the new NYRB Classics edition of the astonishing Transit by Anna Seghers is one of the most risible things I've ever seen in print. The more I think about it the more dumbfounding it is https://t.co/WHug78MNBQ

Miami
Joan DidionArmin RosenAs Joan Didion observed in "Miami," 1 of the long-term hazards of having a massive clandestine paramilitary apparatus on yr own territory is that u have to give large numbers of potentially dangerous and highly motivated men something harmless to do once they're no longer useful

Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945
Tony JudtArmin RosenSpeaking of writers stuck in the 90s...it's remarkable how wrong the final chapter of Tony Judt's Postwar ended up being. Now Judt's not exaclty stuck so much as he died over a decade ago and Postwar was probably mostly written in the 90s itself...
