Monday begins the week of Kaggsy and Simon's year club, and this spring the year is 1961. I piled up some candidates, because who doesn't like to look at a pile of books? (Right? You do agree, don't you?) In case the picture is hard to make out that's:
Nicholas Blake/The Worm of Death (Mystery)
Peter de Vries/The Blood of the Lamb (Comic, Chicago)
John Hawkes/The Lime Twig (Experimental)
Iris Murdoch/A Severed Head (British, Literary)
Freya Stark/Dust in the Lion's Paw (Autobiography, Travel)
Constantin Stanislavski/Creating a Role (Acting manual)
Frantz Fanon/The Wretched of the Earth (Political)
Charles Olson/The Maximus Poems (Poetry)
Naturally...I won't read them all over the next week, though I have already finished two of them (and will have posts early next week). I hope to get through one or two more.
Alas, the Olson is probably aspirational: I've been reading that for a year, and I'm about a hundred pages in...
