Been meaning to read some of his stuff for a long, long time and this was f*cking brilliant.
Read his Foe, brilliant!
Is that the one that's a skit on Robinson Crusoe?
Yes! And it's all about authorship and the process of writing itself, which makes it very interesting.
Nice one Sabinha (sp?). I'll see if I can get it from work when I get back.
I've got three books to read on the plane (it's an eleven hour flight and I can't sleep on planes), namely Tortilla Flat, If Beale Street Could Talk and Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas.
Read Tortilla Flat before and love it to bits, but reading it to get me in the mood for Monterey (would have taken Cannery Row but some f*cker has filched my copy again - lost count of how many of those I've been through now. Maybe I should get a really rare first edition then I'd never have to lend it to anyone again) and Steinbeck's always a glorious read regardless.
If Beale Street Could Talk is by James Baldwin, ergo there is a zero percent chance of it being anything less than brilliant. And the other one, yeah, dunno how many times I've read it but it's still not enough. Be entertaining to compare and contrast it with my trip to the city anyway. It's a fair bet that mine will contain less mescaline, although you never know your luck I guess, and it is a city of sin.....
