The most recent addition to the complete review is my review of Gonçalo M. Tavares' The Neighborhood.
I'm disappointed that this hasn't gotten much attention yet -- but then his Joseph Walser's Machine has also been woefully critically neglected. Good, important stuff, folks -- pay attention !
And just as Tavares hasn't been getting his due (yet -- at some point it has just got to explode: few are more up-and-coming than him), neither has what Texas Tech University Press has been doing these past few years; this volume appears in the impressive (but also under-noticed) 'The Americas' series (see also the titles under review at the complete review).
For those in New York this weekend you can and should get the full immersion treatment: go see/hear this event at McNally Jackson on Saturday at 18:00.
Really -- go ! (And then buy Tavares' books, while you're there -- I hope they've stocked enough !)
