Starting with the October 2024 post, I'm putting the book blog on partial hiatus.


Jonathan Swift (1726). Gulliver's Travels.

Roberto BolaΓ±o (1989). The Third Reich. [trans. Natasha Wimmer]

A novel dealing with the very European conceit of Staying Too Long on Holiday (c.f. Un temps de saison). When the clock strikes midnight August 31st, you'd better have returned to the safety of your bourgeois flat or you can expect your entire life to fall apart!

Charles Portis (1968). True Grit.

What a fun book!
