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.

They don't work together, just parallel. I kind of wonder if this artist just solicited all possible prestigious art people and these are the four who devil-may-care said yes?

You need to read Philip Roth's Anatomy Lesson, by the looks of your journal. Also we must talk about the pile of naked people in Alexanderplatz sometime.

Thanks for the literary suggestion! And regarding the pile of naked people, check out Maria Tatar's book "Lustmord."
