In an unprecidented moment of Lit Bro synchronicity, just as László Krasznahorkai was receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature I simultaneously took delivery of my copy of Schattenfroh (dressed like a man who is ready to FUCK)

I just think it's neat that we chatted with you all about Close Reading in the 21st Century & Schattenfroh & because y'all were into them, we've restocked with multiple copies of each WHICH increases the chances someone else stumbles into them. Buy what you want other readers to buy!

I've been banging on about this novel for ages, I know - but basically just as a huge fan! But excitedly, NJT has now given me the green light to start shopping it internationally on his behalf. We shall see how I go then! (Schattenfroh, move over!)

Winding up for a second pass at SCHATTENFROH, which (mark my words) will go down in the historical annals with the likes of Finnegans Wake, The Man Without Qualities, and The Tunnel.
