December 2011: books

February 18th, 2012 § 0 comments

*sigh*

Fiction

  • Samuel Beckett: Molloy (1951, tr. from the French by Patrick Bowles in collaboration with the author)

Poetry

  • Arun Kolatkar: Jejuri (1976)
  • Carl Phillips: From the Devotions (1998)
  • Rosmarie Waldrop: The Reproduction of Profiles (1987)

All of these are highly recommended . . . although — fighting words — I did wonder if Jejuri was quite as good as I remember it to be.

Rosmarie Waldrop is my new goddess. I can’t wait to read her translations of Edmond Jabès.
