For the Pittsburgh Review of Books, I wrote an essay on Schattenfroh’s novel genealogies and the question of a total novel that does not coalesce into signification. Thanks Ed Simon for accepting the essay. pghrev.com/totality-wit...

The original guide with the German-English glossary was meant specifically for my Patreon supporters who took part in the group reading. Can't share it, sorry.

Schattenfroh was brilliant. Book as author as torus, as tzimtzum, unfolding by infolding until the sky’s light breaks again and the torus has cycled back to its initial state. A requiem for seemingly every death but mostly his father’s, an outpouring of grief shucked from the walls of Nobody’s soul.

“Schattenfroh belongs thusly to the rare but foundational tradition of books that trouble the very relationship that a reader, young or mature, has to literature.”

Great review of Schattenfroh from Ignacio M. Sánchez Prado
