Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

Just finished Adalbert Stifter's Two Sisters. Stifter is definitely one of my favorites, along with Walser, even if this particular book is not the one I prefered. I love him better when he seems to forget about his characters, abandoning them to their simple, pure, naïve life, lost in the huge, unhuman splendor of the landscape that must be the real subject of what he's writing.
Even his taste for noble figures - I've never crossed anyone even simply mean in his short stories - seems to proclame how deep his indifference to mankind must be. But what an eye he has for the rest.I can see a hat, I can see a cat,
I can see a man with a baseball bat.

[QUOTE=Mail-Moth;160810]So damn right. We are now so blind to the course of the world that it's scaring.

"blind to the course of the world"... what can this possibly mean

im glad u like venichka.... they published 2 volumes of his "zapisnie knizhki"... i had a lot of fun reading it ... he makes me laugh... i would not reccomend "petushki" to a "foreigner".... its too of an inside phenomenon.... they translated it as "moscu sur la vodka" in french.....but what started out as business has quickley turned to pleasure

/\ you are shitting me (about the french title), lol. that's horrible. i am beginning to believe galia's rant about the sorry state of french culture.
anyway, the guy speaks and reads russian, and he's lived there and he seems to dig kolima, so...
Edit: for all you punks who are trying to big up on cult Russian books, in English it's translated "Moscow to the End of the Line," or something like that. Available on Amazon (last I checked).Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

Im two thirds through Demons by Dostoevsky - cant express how awesome his compositions are - just stunning.... He is one of the few authors who leave me feeling in need of a period of digestion to fully appreciate the work - almost every book of his that ive finished I feel i would get more from it the second time around.... Awesome. I only touch the P&V translations.
Im going to try Guyotat soon - anyone tried him?
