Looks like Antonio di Benedetto's "The Silentiary" (tr. @estherlallen) has a release date: 10/26. It's the second novel in his "Trilogy of Expectation." ("Zama" is the first, and you know how I feel about "Zama.") One of my most anticipated novels of 2021. https://www.nyrb.com/collections/forthcoming/products/the-silentiary?variant=39319400382632

I'm interested in the erosion of the novella as a classification of fiction. West's "Miss Lonelyhearts" (58p) Crawford's "Log of the SS the Mrs. Unguentine" (107p) Fosse's "Boathouse" (118p) Bolaño's "By Night in Chile" (118p) Hawkes's "Travesty" (128p) etc. Novels? Novellas?

@bleakhousing Two votes: Hugh Kenner's "The Pound Era" (eccentric but absolutely wonderful) and T.J. Clark's magisterial "Farewell to an Idea."
