I hope Humboldt's Gift arrives in the mail before I finish Ravelstein. I won't bear the torture of waiting for it.

re: redon.
last i heard dedalus books was planning to bring a new translation into print but ran into some difficulties as a result of funding issues. it's a downright shame not only for that particular book but for the publishing house as a whole. they're easily one of best niche (or otherwise) publishers of the last decade or so. one with a very devoted and specialistic focus on fin-de-siècle symbolist / decadent literature and other literary curios from the period often angled right at the proto-surrealist and the grotesque.
among their better publishing efforts, of which i recommend, include new translations of huysmans, those accursed eastern european masters of the period (meyrink, leppin and grabinski), alfred kubin's the other side, rodenbach's bruges-la-morte (classic stuff this one), barbey d'aurevilly, new translation of potocki's tales from the saragossa manuscript, mirbeau, remy de gourmont, valery bruisov's the fiery angel, leonid andreyev's the red laugh and the little angel.

The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien. The title story is possibly the best short story about war ever written.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

DBC named his two best books. Notes from the underground is another brilliant one. I never liked crime and punishment.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde
