it was amazing

bookshelves: in-translation, nyrb, need

Easily the strongest book I've read this year--five novellas, each written in a voice of unbelievable richness and power. I can't think of any other writer who can can play the kinds of tricks with time and consciousness that von Rezzori does here, except maybe James in The Ambassadors. The New York Review of Books deserves a freaking medal.
