I bought 2 copies of The Wanderer, one for myself & one for a grad student in my program. We are planning to read it together in the new year—it would be fun to have some more people to read it with, so buy yourself a copy and join us!
Are you experiencing ennui? Do you yearn to take up your walking stick and stare at the distant hills? Have no fear. The first English translation of Alexander Veltman's THE WANDERER is here.
