Acquisitions

Aside from the already-read Balzac, during my recent trip to Chicago I picked up Dhalgren by Samuel Delany, The Casebook of Victor Frankenstein by Peter Ackroyd and Death and the Penguin by Andrey Kurkov. All of these hover and drone for my attention.

I have to admit I admire Levi Stahl's recent submersion into political biography. My reading has become increasingly nocturnal and likewise novel-based. I would like to halt that trend and am looking forward to a possible development this summer.
