Der Held meiner Jugend ist tot: #PaulAuster wurde 77. Ihm verdanke ich eine wunderbare literarische Welt voller Rätsel und Skurrilität. Ihn habe ich mit Vorzug gelesen, oft parallel mit #ThomasPynchon. Gute Reise ins Nichts!
Do people still make covers for their paperbacks?
It took me a while to find something suitable for Gravity's Rainbow.
@mckra1g I had read this a lifetime ago with similar feelings. These days I don't persist with such books. Instead I drop them and pick something that I like better.
