Nathan "N.R." Gaddis (nathannrgaddis) | 986 comments Initial SPADE=WERK credited to Nate D and Ali.

The 2003 edition of Detour (1977) from Six Gallery Press is "vastly expanded". And don't listen to those who say he's not written in the last 35 years ; in 2007, his collection Limit Point (complete with review!). You can find some Brodsky=extracts @ http://www.webdelsol.com/4Walls8Windo...

This guy's BURIED. The associated BIG names == Dostoevsky (underground=man), Kafka, Beckett. People say 'ontology' when speaking of Brodsky.

I've managed to drag home from The Village Bookshop two volumes :: Circuits and Project, And Other Short Pieces because other Brodsky's weren't on the shelf.

Some of you may already have a piece of Brodsky's Werk-in-Progress, Invidicum, in the form of an extract in The Review of Contemporary Fiction: The Failure Issue: Spring 2011. I'll be revisiting that one today.

Nate D (rockhyrax) | 354 comments I have * * *: A Novel and it looks extremely promising! To be reported in more detail soon. And as for this "not written in 35 years", *** is actually mid-90s, I think. So a bit outside usual BBC purview, but I refuse to be deterred.

Thanks for starting this thread / giving me a prod to actually read this.

Detour is pub'd in 1984 ; which beats out the arbitarity of 1985 ;; and then it follows that his entire oeuvre gets credited, given my author=over=books orientation.
