I just finished Motorman by David Ohle today. I really enjoyed

Holy fuck what are the odds. I just finished this book tonight as well. Crazy.
Anyways I don't know about any hidden meanings but as an exercise or an 'experiment' I think it was really successful. Bunce scares the shit out of me.

Wow that's a huge coincidence considering the obscurity of the book. Did you get a first edition copy or the reprint?

>>9425143
PDF of the reprint. The Introduction was excluded so I didn't get to read it but it seemed sort of shit from what little I read on the Amazon page. So I take it you didn't like the book?

>>9425151
Quite the opposite, my friend. While it was a bit confusing, I thought it was fantastic. It's become one of my favorites, to be honest.

How'd you guys come upon Motorman?

I read it a few months ago after reading a Paris Review interview with Lish and checked out some of his favorite books and this was #1, although I much prefer his #2 The Log of the SS Mrs Unguentine and the rest of Stanley Crawford's other work by miles.

You should check out that^, Gascoyne, and Seed

I found it through the surrealist, Shively Humperdink. He posted about the book online, I read some reviews, and it really piqued my interest.

>>9425175
I broke into your house one day and read it. Also jacked off on all your underwear.

>>9425175
I've already forgotten, I read something about it in the last couple weeks (yet another anon who just read this) and added it to my interlibrary loan list.

>>9425151

Hey friend, can you let me in on where you downloaded the PDF?

>>9425175

The Log of the SS Mrs. Unguentine is such a strange little book. Like I'm only about halfway through but it just sort of meanders between the wife staring out over the houseboat, describing long periods of life in a short space (reminded me a lot of Morand's Hecate and her Dogs in that way) and lazily fucking on the housebarge. I'm not sure I entirely get where Crawford is trying to lead me yet. I should probably open it back up once Summer comes around and I don't have as much work but in all likelihood it might get buried by Walser.

where's the list of lish favs

It's $6

What you see is what you get. The "sequel" may have familiar elements but is different enough to stay interesting.

>>9426343
Wait, what do you mean when you say sequel?

No error here, you might have a corrupted file or something software-dependent.

motorman is /lit/core

it's been recommended on every chart forever

>>9429099
So what should I do? Redownload the folder?

>>9428908
I know this sounds dumb but can you recommend me a program that can read .epub files?

>>9429134
Calibre

>>9429134
>>9429219
(you can use the calibre reader on its own, separately from the library program)
