I had the chance to write about Sylvia Townsend Warner's remarkable 1948 novel, The Corner That Held Them, for @bookforum. The book is about a medieval convent, has dozens of characters, no plot to speak of, and is utterly brilliant. https://t.co/4TkdFBJli6

I’m really excited for Virginie Despentes’ King Kong Theory to appear this year in a new English translation. This book is so nasty & delicious. A small taste: https://t.co/m6FAAV75ad

Chia-Chia Lin's The Unpassing, which was so elegant & quiet & no, this comment is not a revelation, stunning https://t.co/TTstiKA70E

@jumibello Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz’s THE PASSENGER takes place almost entirely on a train...& beyond setting, the train is absolutely central. & the book is so so great!

@lauriemuchnick Patrick E. Horrigan's Pennsylvania Station is wonderful (& deserves a lot more attention!). Kind of a modernized Death in Venice but with more architecture.

Natalia Ginzburg's Valentino and Sagittarius, translated by Avril Bardoni---listen, the aching clarity of NG's observations have made me a better person https://t.co/RFNYRw6HJr
