You know, I'm really bad for not visiting the World Literature Forum as often as I should be. I know it's a brilliant resource but I always seem to ignore it unless there's a Q&A going on. How shocking is that? I'll try harder. As for the Huelle recommendation, I'll check it out Stewart. Looks interesting Fanks!

The best thing about them is that they acquired John Calder (of Calder Publications) catalogue, and it's quite an extensive one. This is, after all, the guy who gave us Samuel Beckett and William S. Burroughs back in the day. Over on World Lit Forum, one member picked out <em>The Black Spider</em> as being "among the best books in the German language". If you enjoy <em>The Magic Mountain</em>, there's Pawel Huelle's <em>Castorp</em> after it, basically an imagining of Castorp's days at university in Poland. Some interesting choices from OneWorld.
