Nightmare Alley
William Lindsay GreshamDan Chaon (@danchaon.bsky.social)I read the NYRB edition of “Nightmare Alley,” by William Lindsay Gresham, after the movie came out... I was impressed by how wonderfully weird it was, and how 1940s high modernist in its structure and use of interior. Kind of Nabokovian, even.

It’s a genuinely breathtaking achievement and brought tears to my eyes.
