my most correct and goofiest Krasznahorkai opinion is that Spadework for a Palace is the best Storybook ND portersquarebooks.com/book/9780811...

Spadework for a Palace by László Krasznahorkai, part of New Directions’ Storybook ND series which is basically little golden books but for lit bros (affectionate)

They're telling us that they're making a big push into libraries, so who knows

Caroline Casey @cacasey.bsky.social · 3d

that and the advantage ingram has as both a wholesaler and a distributor—a lot of accounts just don't order direct at all!

Minneapolis is a dangerous hellhole, a killing field, and is incapable of running free and fair elections. Sincerely, the committee to reelect the guy who's been mayor for 8 years. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
