The prose demands this of the reader. I put both books aside to read the new Vila-Matas and the old Pavic Dictionary of the Khazars... I did not have the vocation to read Pavic when it came out but as I am going to Istanbul and on to Georga in June that seemed necessary... Going in particular to Georgia... So obscure ... So unknown to me... The Norwegian books have not been awaiting my reading long enough maybe. I was also thinking to travel with Cosmicomics by Calvino another book I had set aside... My Struggle needs to be complete. I made Tge mistake of reading the first volume of the huge Peter Weiss novel but the translator died and Tge publisher was gloating that they "doubted" they get around to it...too bad he said withba smirking explaining they'd lost too much money on that one...Thomas McGoniglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05262994278231611143noreply@blogger.com
