The echo of the mustache’s memory blazed like white satin on his upper lip

Even when I binge your videos to procrastinate I know it's never wasted time.

@brevitysfool6118 2 года назад

The highlight of my week is when I see one of your videos uploaded, and as always great review. Also do you think you'll ever review Embers by Sándor Mári, a book I don't often see talked about?

@BetterThanFoodBookReviews 2 года назад

I haven’t read it but I’ve heard of it, thanks for the reminder and for watching.

@victorpopa8724 2 года назад

Ok man. I'm sold! To patreon I go. You deserve it! Amazing review as always.

Read the Necrophiliac!! 😂 Your hairdresser is a queen! Yes it is disturbing (like… very much so) but it is beautiful. In France we’re rediscovering her… some unpublished books came out last year. She was very versatile, she wrote virtuous pastiches, and she was such a character! Her life is a mystery and seems to have been epic. She got me into André Pieyre de Mandiargues who is interesting. (Disturbing and sadean too!!) Don’t know if he was translated. 🤔

@igorrenfield6588 2 года назад

I’ve read it. Can confirm.

To paraphrase Harold Bloom (on Macbeth) love becomes erotic when it crosses the shadow of death

Took your recommendation and read it, just finished. Your description is perfect. Loved it.

As a Dane I am loving the sponsor 💗

@misslady2470 2 года назад

I read the Necrophiliac too and it turned out to be my fav book last yr lol idk why the only way I can describe it is beautiful !

@shelveswithstories13 Год назад

i read it today and i totally agree with you

@timkjazz 2 года назад

Love picks that I've never heard of, will check it out asap. If you want extraordinary prose read 'Nightwood' by Djuna Barnes and 'By Grand Central Station I Sat Down And Wept' by Elizabeth Smart. Also might like 'Winter's Tale' by Mark Helprin, a masterpiece of magic realism with New York set as the backdrop.

@sebastianx13 2 года назад

Great recommendation, thanks

Actually just finished Malpertuis by Jean Ray, published by Wakefield. They are indeed a great company (tried getting a job with them, but alas, they did not need anyone).

@MrPROJECTSyNc 2 года назад

Is it any good? I just bought that one myself

@kualuquete 2 года назад

Have you read Eduard Limonov? Try, for instance, his "The diary of a loser", it's really worth it.

@VVVV-mn9ip 2 года назад

I have only read the necrophiliac from her, so I am very excited to see this.

@celiboud 2 года назад

Have you read ‘Tender is the Flesh’ by Agustina Bazterrica?

John Julius Norwich has a good book on Venice

@pumpkinsfan25 2 года назад

Love your book reviews! You should checkout The Painted Bird and Steps by Jerzy Kosinski. There both really dark and disturbing. There’s lots of controversy about the author.

@rod_alva.1615 2 года назад

Great intro, looking like Patrick Bateman, you remind me of American Psycho a little bit

@nicholascarlucci6096 2 года назад

one day 3700 views... you have the formula my friend

@joekiddyshaw5757 2 года назад

Would absolutely love to hear you're take on 'A Fan's Notes', by Frederick Exley ... personally my favourite all-time novel, which i'm 99.9% certain you'd really LOVE too . . . check it out Clifford ? Thankyou ! ✌🏼

@emanueleboscofilms 2 года назад

Great review. And Wittkop has one of the most fascinating bio ever.

@Raghu.Bharadwaj 2 года назад

Horrendous and beautiful. It reminds of the scene of necropsy of a cat in yukio mishima's the sailor who fell from grace with the sea.that scene demonstrates everything you just explained in this review.loved your review man.

@murrayr7703 2 года назад

Umm, this book is virtually unavailable. the Los Angeles library has only one English language version of The necrophiliac as an e-book. Any ideas where to find Murder?

No decadence for me, thanks. Houellebecq is as far as I can go. And he has just come out with a new book, Anéantir. Waiting for the translation.

I am really wanting to like this channel but every time I give it another go I am so bored by the drawn-out delivery of these reviews because the reviewer himself seems bored, seething with some long-suppressed mix of anger and unfulfilled desires, that have left him a shell, a dead-eyed wooden marionette that is on RU-vid only because an unidentified puppet master put him there. This guy is generally not very educated and is therefore straining to comment with conviction about the books he has read and is recommending. His choices are admittedly good but we feel we'd rather hear the review from a more articulate and passionate presenter than one whose heart was ripped out a few centuries ago. It's like someone holding a delicious, luxurious pastry filled with la crème des beaux mots in their hands and professing to love it, licking his lips proclaiming that he wants nothing else but to devour it, while staring at a bowl of crusty Kelloggs cornflakes from which the milk has long since evaporated. There is no heart in this. And literature, my friend, requires a heart!

I love listening to your reviews but please I wish you will go vegan. There is no need to sponsor cruelty as in your leather watchband. If you love cats you don’t eat them if you love dogs you don’t eat them if you love animals you don’t eat them and use their skins. ❤️‍🩹
