Carter Scholz

[Richard Romeo]

Howdy all--

I did enjoy Scholz's novel Radiance very much--if you
love Gaddis (much of the novel is structured like JR)
and books about weapons research, you should read it.

CS has a collection of his stories out now--some may
want to check it out. I hope to thanks to NYPL.

>From the author of Radiance, a dazzling and unhinging
collection of his finest storiesIn this collection of
twelve stories, Carter Scholz, author of the
critically acclaimed novel Radiance and co-author
(with Jonathan Lethem) of Kafka Americana, reveals his
truly remarkable range and prodigious narrative gifts.
Traveling from the surface of the moon to the New
Jersey suburbs, from Jan Van Eyck’s “invention” of oil
painting to the aged Ezra Pound at St. Elizabeth’s,
from Galileo’s telescope to a theory of catastrophes,
they explore the places in the human mind where
science and fiction merge. In the same manner as the
later works of Nabokov or the fictive universes of
Calvino, Kafka, and Borges, Scholz’s stories disturb
the universe, probe the worlds we call home, and
measure the degrees of our alienation. Mind-expanding,
entertaining, and often richly disquieting, The Amount
to Carry brings us bravura performances of the
imagination.
