I’ll admit that before he won the Nobel Prize, I was barely aware of László Krasznahorkai and had never read him. I’m making up for that now. I also grateful because while researching him I stumbled upon José Donoso’s amazing The Obscene Bird of Night in a new, expanded edition from New Directions

Thrilled that The Antidote made the National Book Award shortlist for fiction. If you haven't read it yet, I strongly rec this one. & Horror readers, if you want to try a lit fic this one conversation with Buffalo Hunter Hunter, Witchcraft for Wayward Girls and The Reformatory. It's just wonderful.

María Fernanda Ampuero is one of the most brilliant and audacious writers I’ve ever encountered. Her work is genuinely distressing and profoundly unpleasant. If you are looking for raw, uncompromising fiction, she needs to be at the top of your list.
