William T Vollmann Central discussion

I’m aware that Vollmann claims to have been “fired” and is examining EU grant options for translation with his German publisher, and that A Table For Fortune is ridiculously long, to the tune of a million words. Any new or insider info beyond that? Much appreciated.

This is also the last news I heard. He talked about how multiple European publishers might apply for an EU grant and get it published together. It's so frustrating to know that this enormous and seemingly amazing book exists, without it being available to us.

He talks about it in this interview: https://soundcloud.com/user-836131337...

Announced today.

Arcade publishing it in 2026

Fantastic piece and more news about TFF!

Thanks !

Thanks for that link. I had lost track of what Bill was up to since Lucky Star. So sad about Lisa. 😞

Amazon has information about Volume 1, to be published March 3rd. Just search his name.

Here's a link to the boxset pre-order along with a rather nice mockup of what we're looking at:
