I'm interested in their recent release of Renata Adler's booksSpeedboat and Pitch Dark
Speedboat came up on a syllabus for one of DFW's courses at Pomona College.
I'm very pleased they're being re-released. I read both years ago, in the 80's. A fantastic writer. I'd like to revisit them myself.

Renata Adler doesn't have many reviews. Should we unBURy heR?
there was just a full page review of her books (given the reissue) in the NY Times Book Review last Sunday:http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/17/boo...

Should you decide to add her, add her on the strength of the weakness of readership of one of her other books. Meanwhile, abundant praise to NYRB are due in this thread. And spread Proustitute's reviews far and wide.
