Had the pleasure of covering Hermann Burger's Diabelli (translated by @anathanwest.bsky.social and published by @wakefieldpress.bsky.social)
for this week's @thetls.bsky.social.

Cate Blanchett does a great reading of a letter from our Remedios Varo book!

We're happy to declare that we have two new titles in hand: Huysmans's pessimistic ode to sterility (and his own favorite novel of his career), Domesticity, and Jacques Sternberg's frenetic pop-surrealist fever dream, The Employee

The first monologue from Hermann Burger's Diabelli in The Baffler, for those wanting to dip their eyes in before taking a plunge.

The Messengers have arrived. Evocative of Alain-Fournier and Kafka, but presenting a dreamscape of its own unsettling character, their message comes with the inevitable question: how has this award-winning 1974 novel never been translated into English before?

“I have stolen myself from a film. Now I am strolling along the ocean shore. And I still have not spliced my paragraphs into the proper order.”

New arrogant recommendations from Tom Bowden, which include two recent Wakefield titles. And, of course, much more...

New books are in hand in most untimely fashion: the spiraling spatial symbolism of Dr. Mises and the symbolist sexual psychosis of Rachilde.

Just realized @wakefieldpress.bsky.social is here, well worth looking at their catalog and paying attention to them

Here’s the book that made me take notice - mind bending, challenging, brilliant, a German “intergalactic utopian novel” from 1939

We reviewed the unsettling short novel With Their Hearts In Their Boots, out now on @wakefieldpress.bsky.social. www.vol1brooklyn.com/2024/11/26/c...

Thanks to @tobiascarroll.bsky.social for writing about Jean-Pierre Martinet’s WITH THEIR HEARTS IN THEIR BOOTS over @vol1brooklyn.bsky.social. My pal Alex translated the book, & I wrote the foreword. It’s out now from @wakefieldpress.bsky.social. www.vol1brooklyn.com/2024/11/26/c...

Some attention given to the bracing existential horror of Martinet's With Their Hearts in Their Boots. And a happy holiday to our readers in the US.
