You'll find Amanda Michalopoulou's I'd Like to be easily available, printed as it is by the Dalkey Archive. It's also on this year's Reading The World list. A couple more novels in Stolen Time and Four Walls by Vangelis Hatziyannidis, as well. Panos Karnezis is another Greek writer I'm aware...

If you liked Platform, go for it. Personally I disliked Atomised, because the sex scenes became dull. You may be interested, if you can get it, in The Fascination Of Evil by Florian Zeller, which takes as its spark the controversy surrounding Platform and deals with a Houellebecqesque character...

They are written by Andrew Neideman, who ghostwrites under her name.

You know, I might try and read a short story or two a week. Perhaps I'll come to appeciae them. I won't be joining you on O'Conner as I have plenty on my shelves to be getting on with. Dubliners perhaps, finally.

I've just went ahead and created a short stories subforum in the fiction section. We'll see how it goes.

Undoubtedly. Umberto Eco goes calls translation "a negotiation", being that you can't translated literally because things get lost, such as the Italian to English titular Mouse Or Rat? on his non-fiction about translation. But, with a translation, most of the time it's the only way we can read...

I can understand it's not likely to be the last. Yes, ebooks are doing okay and sales of them are rising month on month, but given that, aside from non-fiction titles, the majority that appear more legitimate seem to be small, typically genre, concerns and, as far as I know, don't operate in the...

How recent are we talking? I'd throw Umberto Eco and Calvino your way straight way. Sometimes it's not so much a case as recent as spreading wings a bit further. Have you head, for instance, of Milorad Pavic? More modern, you may want to give Georgi Gospodinov's Natural Novel a try.

Jeez! I've just seen what time I posted at. 06:11 - wow! I'm usually hitting snooze on my alarm until quarter-to-eight.

Oh, I'm so looking forward to it now. On the plus side, it's a NYRB Edition and they are great shelf candy. Will you continue to read around the world or dive into plenty of stuff you've been wanting to catch up on?

It reads too full of whimsy for me but the best thing to do is just never mind what others think. If you believe it's worth telling, just write it.

I'm referring to your listing:

ABC, at your request I've tidied up your post. I would question whether you are complete as there's nothing there for Laos. Oh, and Nigeria is questionable: I take it you read Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe and something by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie? A lot of interesting titles in there...

The penis meatier than the sword?

I was just having a bit of fun, since the book is called Nineteen Eighty-Four and not 1984.

You could try reading the book. Is that a dumb suggestion?

Ding ding! July's discussion is open.

"Belator Books are the cherished works of two independent writers, whose family-orientated books are available to the public here on this site." Two independent writers disguised behind an imprint - that's self-publishing. I know that I'm all for independent presses and have a number that I...
