An interesting read leads to another book in my stack to read.

Egon Schiele does look like a LiveJournal blogger. My God, I never thought of that before.

The cover image is an acquired taste. Why don’t give it a try?

Brendan King’s previous translations of Huysmans are excellent, so this should be good. I really don’t care for the choice of cover image though, so I think I’ll stick with my Penguin Baldick with the Boldini portrait of Robert de Montesquiou on the cover. It’s the aesthetics of the thing, you understand.

It’s certainly one of the few since May 4, when we ran the last installment of Sacheli’s Beebe story.

This is one of the few posts that are up to D.net’s inflated standards.

Many thanks for this. I’ve long stood by Baldick’s translation, but now I’m swayed to try King’s.
