The ridiculous amount of MAJOR grammatical errors from lack of editing is seriously testing my patience… We’re talking one every few pages.

Not one person on my GR feed has this on their radar. That really needs to change. Nathan - this is in your wheelhouse... big fat trilogy in translation.

So fucking good.

This is staggeringly good.

Hilda and her damn obsession with hyacinths is almost as bad as WB Yeats’ criminally overused “dew.” Annoying is an understatement.

To all my hardcover fetishist friends...

A SIGNED Verbatim first for the low low price of $20. Snag it while you can!

3.5/5 - a terrific last line

Absurdly good. Sooooo much better than his shorts. Absolutely hooked.

FUUUUUUUUUUUCKING HELL

This is the 'dark' book I've longed for. Everything else pails in comparison... and it's not even close.

It's a bit pricey at $80 shipped from Germany, but if you've been looking for the Arno Schmidt RCF... here is your chance to own it.

Finally found a copy...

You know you're reading a BURIED book when it doesn't even have a GR entry (neither the French original nor the English trans). I came across this BURIED book by way of another BURIED book, The Abandoned Places - courtesy of a jacket blurb. More details to come...

Thorpe's translation is masterful. Throw Davis in the trash.
