Happy Early Birthday, Keith! Books are a great way to numb out. I always like discovering new authors, so I will check out the ones you listed. I hope the new year is going well for you so far!

Hey Keith -- what did you think of Bang's Elegy? It's up for the National Book Critics Circle Award, which means it is necessarily drawing some snark from the experimental camp...

Thanks Clare! I forgot to mention the new Jaan Kaplinski book, Night Brings Everything Back -- on Bloodaxe books.
