Catherine Colomb (1892–1965)

This is wonderful--inventive and interesting. The Virginia Woolf/Proust analogies are quite misleading; this is much closer to Josef Winkler and Ivy Compton-Burnett (all indirection and repetition), but I guess those names are even less likely to generate sales. I very much hope John Taylor translates Colomb's other novels, which would be far too much for me in the original.

Anyway, you have to pay attention, but it rewards that attention. It's a real shame that so few seem to be reading this book!… (más)
