: Phew! I'm glad you were reading the wrong book, because
: I was astonished at finding out you didn't like
: "The Street of Crocodiles". I mean, we've
: not always agreed to the full on every book we've read
: together (and they're quite some now), but I would be
: surprised if you didn't like TSoC. You still may not
: like it, but let's see. I considered it a very
: beautiful book. It's crazy and moving, it's very well
: written, and some of the stories will linger in my
: mind for a long time, hopefully forever.

: Right after finishing TSoC, I went for "Home of
: the Gentry", which I also loved. I'm there with
: you when you say it's good to come back home and read
: an old-fashioned, straight story. "Home of the
: Gentry" is a deep, sad, joyful and everything
: else narrative. The last chapter is overwhelming with
: remembrance and emotion. As I said before, March has
: been such a great month in ReadLit. More on both books
: later, but suffice it to say I loved them both.

: PS: see you and Friederike in a couple of weeks.

: The Street of Crocodiles by Bruno Schulz is a series

: novel.
:
: It is not a play.
:
: Hay Allah! I knew something was wrong. I mean, we did
: have quite a few "weird" books make their
: way into our book club lists but this was just a
: little more on the wild side than the occasional odd
: book. I was going "Who the heck recommended this
: one?" OK, I'll get the real one. In the mean time
: I am reading Turgenev (Such a comfort, good
: old-fashioned story one can actually make sense of.)

: This is the book I was trying to read:
