I'm just bummed it has so few ratings on goodreads and it isn't as widely read as other novels from the period bc it's truly one of the best books I've ever read.

This is the only NYRB book I own. I've only read The Pedersen Kid so far. Surprisingly amusing for a story about some random fucks in bumfuck nowhere. Maybe Gassposter might be onto something.

Have you read The Recognitions yet? If so you may wanna check out Gass's Middle C.

>>8172951

Planning on getting a few more of these, Warlock is the only one I own but it's a lovely book. Feels like a higher quality than Penguin.

Planning on getting Skylark since I want to read more Hungarian literature and Autobiography of a Corpse sounds very interesting.

>>8173184
I have, but I'm holding off on getting more Gass books until I go through the rest of Gaddis' stuff, which I have all of except J fucking out of print R.

I'm hyped for what they're putting out the rest of the year.

Henry Green (the best Green), new Walser, Doblin, two Bresson books, new Krzhizhanovsky

Also love these Green covers

>>8173196
skylark is my favourite ever

>>8173289

As good as Satantango, The Transylvania trilogy and Journey by Moonlight? Hungarian lit is pretty damn amazing.

Anyone here familiar with Elizabeth David?

Was thinking of getting this.

>>8173302
sure; it's literally my favourite book
i do love krasznahorkai something awful though

NYRB should be putting out hardbacks. These things will quickly disintegrate.

>>8172951

So far I am half way through this; it is a good read:

I started it, but all the exclamation marks at the beginning put me off.

>MR. PAPENMEYER was ashamed of his celery!
>Look at it. Frozen, for one thing; coarse; brown; ill-natured. He let the stalks snap toughly from his fingers.
>Eric Papenmeyer could not find it in his heart to sell her celery, with celery in the shameful state it was!

I think it's someone from the tinychat, I'd asked him to post his NYRB Classics in a bookshelf thread once. He had over a hundred.

>>8174400
Wish you'd take a clearer picture though.

>>8174257
it chills out with that after the first chapter which is pretty short, took me a few starts to get past it

>>8172951

There's like 500 nyrb books, why do i have to have an excuse for not reading some of them.

>>8174324
I'd rather not take my chances

>>8174548

>>8174563

NYRB is a pretty based publishing company

I feel for ya, OP. The NYRBsters are scum.

Do you live in Poland? It is 19th century realism at its best. It is kind of like a polish war and peace.

>>8173026
Yes because /lit/ has enough traffic to make this a viable PR strategy.
