Nights of Plague
Orhan PamukRalph Hubbell“Paranoia is [Orhan] Pamuk’s great subject and the engine of his style,” @JudithShulevitz writes. The Turkish author’s new novel, "Nights of Plague," is no exception. https://t.co/PoVHDhDOWo

Precarious Japan
Anne AllisonRalph HubbellI had my students read this book (Precarious Japan) last year, and it's rushing back to mind after Abe's assassination. The assassin's age is 41, likely making him one of the very people Anne Allison writes about in this extremely enlightening yet disheartening work. https://t.co/A3jgzmjCil

Hill
Jean GionoRalph Hubbell"Ag-lit": has anyone come up with this literary classification yet? I spent Sunday morning petting goats at the Maryland Zoo and, while it isn't necessarily agricultural, Jean Giono's "Hill" kept coming to mind.

The Tartar Steppe
Dino BuzzatiRalph HubbellI'm looking for fiction recommendations where structures (like houses, castles, etc.) provide much of the story's primary narrative fuel. Like Kafka's "The Castle", Buzzati's "The Tartar Steppe", or Pekic's "Houses".

Snow: Introduction by Margaret Atwood
Orhan PamukRalph Hubbell@AntonHur For some serious rogue copy editing, check what one did to Maureen Freely’s translation of Orhan Pamuk’s SNOW.

A Strange Woman
Leylâ ErbilRalph HubbellI review @Amy_Spangler's and Nermin Memencioğlu's translation of Leyla Erbil's classic A Strange Woman, published by @DeepVellum. Read my article here: https://t.co/kzJdDCHalH. But more importantly, buy the book. It's funny, bold, political, kind of challenging and, yes, strange.

Black Sea
David YezziRalph Hubbell@ae_stallings I think my old teacher David Yezzi’s whole book Black Sea was inspired by Ovid’s exile.
