I received two each of a couple books from my birthday list, and it's been over a month since their purchase so I assume amazon won't be thrilled to take them back. One's Chekhov's complete plays, the new Norton hardcover. The other a few of you might be interested in, it's an expensive, bizarre four-paperback boxed set called Wonderwater. Anne Carson wrote one, is the thing (the other three are by Helene Cixous (!), John Waters (!!) and some sculptor named Louise Bourgeois); each paperback annotates drawings, or titles of drawings, by someone named Roni Horn. Anne's centers on Holderlin rather than Horn, in a characteristic series of quotations, poems, mini-essays and indescribables. I'll send the volume and/or set to the interested person (drop a comment if you are) who wants it most and/or is cheapest to send to. Carson shouldn't moulder on my shelf or in a warehouse. And this doesn't sound like it will make it to many libraries.
