The most recent addition to the complete review is my review of A Fiction of the South Seas by Christian Kracht, Imperium, forthcoming in July from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
This stirred up a bit of controversy when it came out in Germany a few years ago, its (partial) colonial-imperialist subject matter leading some critics to read a rightist programme into the work. It'll be interesting to see whether anyone in the US/UK notices or cares.
