The Death Agony of the Melancholy Ruffian.
Was it El Lungo, or Pibe Miflor?

One of the best novels ever written, bungled by US publishers, finished in Buenos Aires in 1931, finally made available in the US in full in 2022, only available from corona\samizdat (www.coronasamizdat.com).

Reading: Louis Armand's Clair Obscur (p.210; remarkable writing, slippery intermingling thoughts and media); Gary Amdahl's Creative Writers--explosively funny immediately (challenging me to put Louis down; I won't) Huels Trunk antibodies (poetry; so kind of a referee)

The most valuable book at corona\samizdat is down to 20€. Value: talent, added value from cover design, from Author's afterword, lazarine exemplaire, whatever that meant. We also have several other books by The Mad Chandler! His short Vietnam novel is nonpareil, not paralleled.
