The BURIED Book Club discussion

Federman is the cause of my recent return to UNEARTHing BURIED books. The quick series of events which led to my discovery of Ray's works and from which a cute review about saving the WHALES, Take it or Leave It.

Just got through reading the material and links from your Federman blog, Enrique. Merci. Now about getting that review over here's to the center of the world, aka, The BURIED Book club.

And to further thank the good people of the world for Federman's books, the reinvigoration of my thesis that some of the best books ever written are still BURIED.

I finished Shhh: The Story of a Childhood a few days ago and a review is pending. I may want to read another of his earlier books first, though. I have Take it or Leave It and Double or Nothing here, and just ordered another five of his books. I'll keep you all posted, and in the meantime, I'll check out the reviews linked here.

That video's not coming across in a format which my computer reads ; I don't know what that means. But here's some more clips of Ray reading:: http://www.youtube.com/results?search... I'll havta watch/listen soon.

Ray's blog - with very moving postings by his daughter after his death.

His ABR talk on Youtube is excellent too. Very charismatic speaker.

Samuel Beckett: the Critical Heritage needs some Librarian work given :: https://www.goodreads.com/search?utf8... where he seems to be list'd as "R Federman" but I think it's in fact our Ray.

Oh wow! That is amazing - looking forward to reading my way through...thank you very much indeed!

And an email correspondence with Ray, from a guy who was around the BBC at the beginning but is now gone gone gone :: http://enriquefreequesreads.blogspot....

That link is invaluable. And it motivates me to actually try to reach out to more authors -- while they are still alive -- as well.

I might have to go all Completionalist on his ass (or as close as is humanly/monolingually possible) .
