This week's Five for Friday is a little self-indulgence with an activity I enjoy: a fistful of reviews of genre and non-genre literature.

@stefano_zan BTW, ho visto sul tuo profilo che stai leggendo di , che, incredibile, io mi promettevo di comprare e leggere in agosto durante le ferie :-)

Come ti sembra finora?

El lápiz negro lo llevo a todos lados. Se subraya por muchas razones. Todas buenas. Yo siempre ando buscando y perdiendo lápices. Hoy les hago un homenaje. Imagen de Kathelijne Bonne lnkd.in/dahmpik6

En mi mesilla de noche descansan ahora —pues los sigo leyendo en casa, por la tarde, hasta bien avanzada la noche— Los cuadernos de Malte Laurids Brigge, Solo, de Strindberg, Muerte impúdica, de Dagmar Rotluft, Las tribulaciones del joven Törless. Y, por supuesto, mi libro favorito, el Diario de Franz Kafka.” [2/2]

Mircea Cărtărescu, Solenoide, 2015. [Tr. Marian Ochoa de Eribe Urdunguio]

“[…] no sé si es una casualidad o si los elijo a propósito, pero todo lo que he leído últimamente está relacionado con mi situación, con la vida de un hombre solo y sin esperanza. […] los grandes libros de la soledad. Todos los personajes con los que he llegado a identificarme son portadores de este estigma. [1/2]

I am determined to finish reading Mircea Cartarescu's SOLENOID by the end of the year. Felled by COVID, this wasn't exactly something I could read while bedridden. Now that I realize that the volume is an elaborate piss-take on the futility and the self-delusion of writing -- a kind of riposte to Knaussgaardian bullshit -- the book is inexplicably enjoyable.

Tonight, I'll finish reading by (I read somewhere here that using hashtags on Mastodon is the only way to signal searchable words in posts ... since I'm hoping to find kindred spirits... hence the hashtags.) Which means that I have some processing to do. Reading Solenoid makes me want to go back to and . Also, by (1967) employs similar transitional techniques. In my reading queue are by ... /1
