Joe Suglia, come back when you have written a compelling novel. Hack.

[lyhneniels]

It seems odd that you would use such an argument to diminish the creative merit of a writer who has *already* proved that he can write "a compelling novel".

[mikelovestacos]

Is this book worth reading? Does it actually change the meaning of the street of crocodiles?

[Yamini C]

lol who are you, even.

[MrSilvestris]

Here, one discovers that the Verbs: 'To Be' or "To Have' do not actually exist and are inventions because these things are not supposed to be composites anyway.

Only the Verbs "being" and "having" exist, yet this is never taught.

[J Suglia]

"A Nazi murdered Bruno Schulz. Jonathan Safran Foer murdered Bruno Schulz a second time."

---Dr. Joseph Suglia, The Greatest Author in the World

[Ro]

He's fucking with us.

[dcmsideshow]

Loved Everything is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. I'm dubious about this one, but curious. It's almost $50 for this book...perhaps a trip to the library is in order.

[J Suglia]

If you are incapable of writing a compelling novel, you can always distort and deform a compelling novel. This is what Jonathan Safran Foer has taught us.

[danjozev]

The story -- if that is what it is, perhaps dream or quilt of recollections is more appropriate -- is extraordinary. If you are familiar with Street of Crocodiles, your memory of that text will be part the experience of reading Tree of Codes. However, there was a moment part way through where I stopped thinking about this story's inarticulate-able relationship to Schulz and became fully absorbed in the compelling narrative that Foer managed to excavate.
