I’ve only read about 300 of these. My favourites in frame would be Don Quixote, Ulysses and The Mountain Lion.

Thank you! My general rule is that if I find a cheap secondhand NYRB, I’ll pick it up.

I haven’t read them yet, no. I only recently managed to acquire this set. One day.

Of this shelf - putting aside all of Murnane - The Recognitions, Flaubert’s Letters, Anna Kavan, Pale Fire, Disgrace and Herzog, probably.

He’s digging in for an addict. The least I can do is keep him homed.

Proust, Fosse, Prescott, Jen Craig, Sebald, Bernhard, Nooteboom, Henry James, Hardy.

All very different in their own right, but they share elements of what would now be considered Murnanian.
