From The Guardian: The conclusion to the wildly acclaimed Neapolitan novel sequence is arriving in English next month. Here is a taste of the intense, lifelong friendship at the story’s centre.
From the BBC: On Thursday JRR Tolkien’s early story The Story of Kullervo will be published for the first time. The dark tale reveals that Tolkien’s Middle Earth was inspired not only by England and Wales … but also by Finland.
From The New Republic: Who, then, is Patrick Modiano? His memoir Pedigree, originally published in France in 2005, is brief and sharp, a pointillist interpretation of personal history, a chronicle that resembles a mere list of names and places and dates that emphasises, yet again, the question of pre-history. As its title suggests, the book is in part an homage to Georges Simenon’s Pedigree, the Belgian writer’s 1948 autobiographical novel “in which everything is true but nothing is accurate,” a natural inspiration for Modiano’s project. “I’m a dog who pretends to have a pedigree,” Modiano writes.
From The New York Times: As with most postulates dealing with subjective perceptions, the idea that prolific writing equals bad writing must be treated with caution.
From The Atlantic: The ballpoint’s universal success has changed how most people experience ink.
From the Paris Review: Haruki Murakami is not only arguably the most experimental Japanese novelist to have been translated into English, he is also the most popular, with sales in the millions worldwide.
From the Paris Review: Now seventy-seven years old, Talese occupies the strange position of being both legendary and misunderstood. His innovation was to apply techniques from the craft of fiction to his newspaper and magazine stories, giving them the shape and life of short stories—a style, later referred to as New Journalism, which he originated in his days as a New York Times reporter in the fifties.
