Warlock

[Edward]

Some books I've enjoyed in the last few months:

Senselessness by Horacio Castellanos Moya
An Episode in the Life of A Landscape Painter by Cesar Aira
The Rings of Saturn by W.G. Sebald
Austerlitz by W.G. Sebald
The Assistant by Robert Walser
War & War by Laszlo Krasznahorkai

All of them are translations (and wonderfully translated, at that). I
recommend each without reservation.
