Elizabeth Costello
 What a Massive Disappointment: J.M. Coetzee is one of the best writers that I have ever read. His winning of the Nobel Prize was fully justified. However if this disaster of a "novel" had been released a couple of years ago, it's doubtful that [... more]

Slow Man
Great, great book!: Reading SLOW MAN brought to mind other book themes, though none handled quite like the author does here. Certainly "The English Patient" comes to mind but only in a mild way. No, that's not a good comparison. The story is of [... more]

Penguin Classics Dangling Man
fresh like new paint: i think dangling man is a real triumph, a novel of amazing conviction. Yes it can get a little pompous with its goethe quotes (in german) and yes it does sag a little. It is not Bellow's best, but for a first novel it is [... more]

Foe
To vex the literary world, Cruso as L'Etranger: First of all, I enjoyed this book. It's surreal and dreamy, and Cruso is a great character, undeserving of the scorn that has been heaped (in tiny, feckless, literary-journal-sliced rashers) upon him. Read [... more]
