"Ralph Hubbell has succeeded marvelously in rendering the stream of consciousness of inner offbeat voices within the short stories of the great and notoriously difficult twentieth-century Turkish author Oฤuz Atay."
Nice translation praise from MLA's Scaglione Prize committee.

"There are two San Franciscos at least. San Francisco remains a city of great beauty and disposition. It is also a city that is plagued by the effects of income disparity, a problem at the heart of much that is wrong with our country."

People of the World: Relax!
Yvan Alagbรฉ's Misery of Love is one of the best graphic novels of the year according to The Guardian's James Smart.
This follows the Washington Post's list. Get your hands on "a work whose achingly allusive charge grows stronger with repeat readings."

โEverything is lit up, glowing, brooding with antic calamity. Right from the start, at a crazed wedding party, people are having breakdowns, falling apart.โ
Geoff Dyer introduces the new edition of The Lives of Saints, out in April with @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social.
The upcoming collection of Rea Irvin's The Smythes is edited by Dash Shaw and R. Kikuo Johnson, with an afterword by Caitlin McGurk.
Shaw and Johnson will discuss Irvin, The Smythes, and the project at the NY Comics and Picture-Book Symposium on 12/1 on Zoom.
Rea Irvin is best known as the 1st art director at the @newyorker.com and creator of their mascot, Eustace Tilley. Irvin also drew a Depression-era strip called The Smythes. John and Margie often disagree on how to live, but Irvin turns domestic debate into art & laughs.
Book out on 12/9!
David Daniel on Jan Kerouac's "Baby Driver" (@nyrb-imprints.bsky.social): this artfully written, semi-autobiographical novel fits into the tradition of American road literature, but it moves at a distinctly different pace.

It's "Lives of the Saints." New edition coming out April 6 along with a new book by Nancy Lemann, The Oyster Diaries.

"The Complete C Comics documents an instance when those barriers began dissolving, a bellwether moment when poets who werenโt supposed to versify on cartoonsโand artists who werenโt expected to draw inspiration from Jughead, but Masaccioโdid just that."
Albert Mobilio on Joe Brainard's C Comics
"Telling a story about the destruction of Palestine and the dispossession of its people, a story that is ongoing to this day, increasing in force and brutality with the years, The Lord is also an act of the literary resurrection of an entire nation."
Selma Dabbagh's on Soraya Antonius's The Lord
"Today, Serge is esteemed by most segments of the political left. But he has remained hard to classify. Was he an anarchist? A Bolshevik? A Trotskyist? Or did he evolve into something else entirely?"
