Has anyone read the Schweblin? I loved Little Eyes. That book surprised me. For the first hundred pages, I kept thinking, this isn't going to work. But it does. https://t.co/YV8nxkqpkp

@xtebordo @damiankelleher Unfortunately not a lot of her work is translated. The visit was part of a literary festival. 6 people invited into her home for an evening. (They did it with writers across the city.) Have you read Dolly City by Orly Castel-Bloom? since we’re on the topic of Heb lit.

@dan_sinykin Another interesting book to teach is Arthur Miller’s only novel Focus. A tad hokey, maybe, but provoking.

@dan_sinykin Nobody has mentioned Passage From Home by Isaac Rosenfeld, a close childhood friend of Bellow. It’s his only book and a true masterpiece. If you were to teach this and start spreading the word about this novel I’d die a happy man.

It's the first book review I've ever written, so I'm not sure it's any good, but what I hope comes across is how much I loved David Leo Rice's THE NEW HOUSE. (In this issue there is also a review of @saralippmann 's LECH by @jswtalk) https://t.co/FqwiNbnWtX

The Argentinian was right. Very different. Straightforward prose, but wonderfully absurd and dark. Can’t wait to read some of his other books. https://t.co/BoeeX7iOHy
