Someone not me:
You can't not buy this book after this @DwightGarner review

…

I now remembered encountering the writer's name and even sending it
'round the plist wheel".


"To some of you I think I expressed my dismay that J. Franzen was
'rediscovering' Karl Kraus with new introduction to, etc......the
great satirist (whom I hardly know myself, and not well but still, I
think I know enough....) and who SHOULD be brought back into print in
English...... such are the ambiguities...

So, I thought I would share with all my Franzen-ambiguous friends this
opening line from the London Review of Books review of the Kraus
Project. Because it is brilliant. By one Joshua Cohen.

"What's the German for a writer who resurrects a writer who would have
hated him?"
