Happy Mother's Day! This is a good opportunity to show Chris Power's new novel, A Lonely Man, alongside his debut short story collection, Mothers!
Happy Short Story Month! How wonderful to have an excuse to delve into this wonderful form. My favorite short story writer is William Trevor, and I am the proud owner of this gorgeous two volume set of his collected stories, released a decade or so ago. Swipe to see a look at the two covers! I love pulling it out and reading a story or two.
Next month New Directions will be publishing Dag Solstad's 1992 novel, Novel 11, Book 18, translated from the Norwegian by Sverre Lyngstad.
The Furies, a 1950 film by Anthony Mann, is like a Greek tragedy-—the scale, the fight over principalities, the familial hatred and lust, the vengeance (after all, it's called The Furies!). I had not seen it before getting the recently upgraded Criterion Collection Blu-ray, which comes in a lovely box that includes Niven Busch's 1948 novel. Barbara Stanwyck and Walter Huston, in his last role, are both fantastic.
Somehow I've managed to come this far in life without reading Balzac. I don't even think I've tested a short snippet in an old college class. Like Proust, I think his work will be important to me and so it kind of already is. With Proust, though, at least I know where to start. I have no idea where to start reading Balzac. I have these three NYRB Classics. There?
Goodbye, April! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
April is almost done, and so is National Poetry Month, but there is still time to celebrate!
