Fellow Barth-heads, For those of you who are David Foster Wallace fans and who may not be on the wallace-l listserv, here's a heads-up that there's an...
... On the web - hush hush - I managed to find as many as four Barthbooks. As I own all of them anyway, I felt no remorse at downloading them, especially since...
Hi again, So let me first apologize for walking out on the On With the Story read. I was more or less responsible for the sign-ups, I think, and it was...
I couldn't resist picking up the 100th anniversary (of Orwell's birth) edition of 1984, with a new 20-page foreward by Thomas Pynchon. Very well worth reading;...

... I heard that Grimus wasn't a very strong novel - the first one, right? - but I had no idea that it was sci-fi! ... Feet I read quite bad reviews of both...
Last book I finished (today) was set in Poland. Is Isaac Bashevis Singer a big literary name there? Loads of his are set in and around lublin. And yeah, Grimus...
... Singer ... lublin. Oh yes, Singer is very popular - of course among people who *do* read at all, and something else besides Paolo Coelho and Bridget Jones...

There was an edited copy of it in last Saturday's Guardian (U.K.). I don't know whether it is on their site. Probably not, given Pynchon's distaste for......
Good luck with finishing up the thesis Kris. Sounds interesting. I've been recently rereading another massive novel William Gaddis' The Recognitions. It is so...
I've been reading 'The Recognitions' for months, finding it very heavy going. There's so much stuff I don't know-there was a 'real alchemist Basil Valentine,'...
