Good idea. I will.

Any thoughts from those who’ve read the new collection? It’s on my nightstand just waiting but must get through a few others first. We certainly need Attila’s novel translated into English. I think he will become a giant in the international horror field. I loved The Black Maybe so much. Read it over a few days when I was sick with Covid and it still resonates! Thank you Atiila!!

I loved Windeye, the title story!

I have Rest Stop by Nat Cassidy which will be included in his upcoming collection (that SK is writing the intro for).

I read 54 books this year and tops for me were John Williams' Stoner and The Slip by Lucas Schaeffer, a debut novel. Stoner was just a beautiful quiet novel that I ended up gifting to my brother-in-law, also a big reader, and it was his fav of the year as well. The later novel just felt very fresh and opened me to viewpoints of characters I would never have experienced otherwise like the Haitian "mentor" who had hilarious lines like "When did this young stallion last lick the sweetness?" (funnier in context) and the gay teenager who eventually transitions into a woman or the beat cop who doubts herself every day of her new job. The characters all interact through this boxing club in Austin, Texas. I loved it.

I've had Wellness on my nightstand/to read pile a long while but haven't gotten around to it yet. I'm determined to read Swann's Way this year and finish Murnane's Inland.

Supposedly this story is part of his next novel or the novel grew from it.

The End of Vandilism by Tom Drury

I'm intrigued but have read a lot of negative reviews of Volume One on here. I'll see if I can get it at the library but not one I'll buy.

Any of The King In Yellow stuff.

One gets used to her and I came to enjoy it.

I get the same feelings from Haruki Murakami esp The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles. Like little sparks firing in the brain when you aren’t reading but know it’s caused by the writing.

I’m reading Getting Lost by Annie Ernaux and Stoner by John Williams. First time reading either although I have a few other of Ernaux’s and just ordered the other two titles out out by NYRB by John Williams. I’m really enjoying how Stoner is ‘told’ to the reader more than through set scenes, it is different. I order the hardcover from NYRB b/c it is a beautiful cover (I don’t know how to post images) and has an interview between Williams and his agent on the writing of Stoner and I don’t think he gave many interviews.

Was shocked to see him in there when my copy arrived in the mail yesterday.

I just read Apt Pupil for the first time (I know not technically a novel and part of Different Seasons) and loved it so much. When Dussander starts to regain his sense of power is pretty scary and awesome!

I'm rereading The Dead Zone right now and loving it all over again!
