Max Lawton Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Max Lawton

Best book to read alongside THEIR FOUR HEARTS is @blakebutler's 300,000,000––to then be chased with the illustrated edition of Ballard's THE ATROCITY EXHIBITION https://t.co/orD3THvn5A

Every day, I run past COLDHEART CANYON and think of Clive Barker

Max Lawton

Sorokin’s three favorite contemporary novels are: Jonathan Littell’s THE KINDLY ONES, @BretEastonEllis’s GLAMORAMA, and Christian Kracht’s 1979. Consider it your homework to read these before April—the beginning of the Sorokinaissance.

Really like the reading of ULYSSES that the main mechanism of the plot is Bloom trying to get Stephen to have sex with Molly

Out of stock

Now diving back into @BretEastonEllis’s absolutely fantastic new novel THE SHARDS after shirking turkey-duty all day yesterday to sneak away and read it https://t.co/TWclvgHZtE

HORROR STORIES, the new Nádas novel, is like GROWTH OF THE SOIL for pervs / fans of ANTICHRIST and THE LIGHTHOUSE

Max Lawton

THE UNLIMITED DREAM COMPANY might be Ballard’s best book

Going to write a short story about riding Birds around Berlin stoned while listening to ACHTUNG BABY and ZOOROPA—visiting bookstores and looking for the new Péter Nádas novel

Sorokin’s been told several times that Bolaño was a big fan of THEIR FOUR HEARTS after having read the French translation from Gallimard. There’s more than a little bit of T4H’s DNA in “The Part About the Killings”. You can now buy T4H wherever books are sold! https://t.co/Ou7W6GbWNw
