"Only a pitiless glare can do justice to Sorokin. These stories are not for the faint-hearted. Reading them is like waking violently from a deep sleep – and the shock continues to haunt one." @curiosothegreat.bsky.social on Sorokin's Red Pyramid www.spectator.co.uk/article/caug...

"[Chevengur] represents [Platonov's] début as a socialist novelist and reads like a dissident’s political suicide note…In the…book’s contradictory point of view, it’s possible to see both the initial construction and the ultimate collapse of the Soviet project" www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

“We should welcome the critic’s…insistence on talking about books and authors she fears no one cares about—because we should resist the impulse to justify every moment [and] because to only consume art that was created in our lifetimes is a terrifying thought.” —Apoorva Tadepalli

The first English translation of Vladimir Sorokin's Blue Lard comes out tomorrow! It has a scene where Stalin and Khrushchev have sex, which didn't please Putin supporters. Sorokin's newest book has disappeared from shelves in Russia.

"I am so desperate to write artistically, with clarity, feeling, and class loyalty."
"Platonov had planned to write a novel illustrating 'the complexity and depth of the working man, as a being with a muscular brain and a full-blooded heart.'"
Quotes from @thetls.bsky.social review of Chevengur.

"The whirling series of images and the short, sharp phrasing conjure a sense of breathlessness and destruction. The silence of the ruined world to come is an abstraction; nothing but the noise of the quake exists in the moment." Aditya Narayan Sharma on Esther Kinsky's Rombo in the LARB.

Patrick Langley's The Variations is out in the U. S. today! It's an ambitious novel that follows three protagonists with the gift, the ability to hear voices and sounds from the past. Begins with a bravura scene that is a slight twist on the Dancing Plague of 1518 (in this version they sing).

WHOMST among you mentioned this book on the internet? Had no memory of ordering it, but I do that sometimes, and it looks like something I’d read so I thought little of it. But this book has already blown my mind several times and I’m only on pg 11. So whoever you are, TY. @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social

"I have heard Belben has given up on the idea that she might find a decent cohort of enthusiasts and critics for her immaculately challenging body of work."
Finally an appreciative essay on Rosalind Belben. We published The Limit last year. Thank you Kirsty Gunn.

Sick of sappiness?
Fed up with romance?
Bored by conventional stories of love?
Lucky for you, we publish a plethora of books in which passion is thwarted, soured, ruined, and crushed.
Ends this Sunday, Jan 28, at midnight ET.

Turtle Diary is a short and strange little novel published by @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social about two lonely Londoners who decide to liberate some sea turtles from the zoo. I loved its sensibility, sense of humor, precise and weird observations. A perfect book.
