But I’m keeping my joke from the year-end post no matter what the truth is! And besides, the fact that their last tweet was August 8, 2017 is not […]

My daily blog/tumblr/twitter feed is pretty involved? Dalkey published that many books (fiction? I know they do scholarly, some letters as well)? It seemed like in the fall at least lots of titles promised, few published: off the top of my head, “Head Full of Joy” by Spahic, “Thanks” by Katchadjian, and “Agnomia” by Gal. They are all on a list I title “Purgatory” along with a whole lot of Seagull titles, another press that is a tease. Don’t care how glorious the catalogue is if it is itself fiction–books that won’t be published. Weird thing: just in the last 2 weeks I’ve gotten via special order by bookstores which would stock any/all of these titles if they were available to do so, “Party Fun With Kant,” (what a title!), and “Sex of Angels, the Saints In Heaven: A Breviary” which is one of the best looking books of the last year…but they must have been ordered thru U of Chicago, who got them from Seagull, somehow, because otherwise they seem totally un-get-able. Next up: Shift Sleepers. Another title that gets punted to the 15th of next month, month after month… I owe you a review of Enard–have been doing much thinking about Orientalism, what makes a writer great, what can and can not be written about by an author regardless of sex, gender, ethnicity, heritage…so forth.
