There are no names for red
Has no kinsmen

Kind of depressing how few of these I still haven't read. On the other hand, I came across two items I hadn't heard of before while I was compiling this list, so that's cool.

I have no idea, really, what "X" is, it was listed as "Fiction: Primary School" on WorldCat. I'm going to have to see if I can hunt it down.

I also have no idea what "Has no kinsmen" is, but it was listed under poetry with two authors, so maybe it's like "There are no names for red," which is a book of poems by Chris Abani, with paintings by PE on facing pages.

I liked Erasure and Wounded by Everett. I'm not sure where to go next. I prefer the angry satirical side of his personality, any tips?

Okay, that's bizarre. After further research, "X" is the spanish version of Erasure. Very strange that WorldCat has it filed under Primary School! Deleting it from the list. :)

"A history of the African-American people (proposed) by Strom Thurmond" is definetly angry and satirical, but it's also kind of surreal. It's incredibly funny.

Maybe I should reorganize the list by order of surrealness. I lean toward his more surreal stuff, myself.

One more poetry collection:

Abstraktion Und Einfühlung

Another Fiction (novel):

The Water Cure

Oooh! Thanks, don't know how I missed the Water Cure! I'll update the list. I think that the poetry title is the German version of There are no names for red, which I have already listed (under "other" since it isn't Everett's poetry.)
