Issue 29 of The Quarterly Conversation is now available -- a great batch of Labor Day holiday reading.
Besides some reviews and a bit by Enrique Vila-Matas, there are several pieces that are part of a 'Harry Mathews Symposium'. I'm a big Mathews fan (see also the complete review Harry Mathews page) -- and while I almost never go to author readings with books to get signed, I did bring my copy of the omnibus edition Ed Park describes in his piece (get your (used) copy at Amazon.com (though Dalkey Archive Press now has reissued the novels in nice, shiny separate volumes, too)) to a Mathews/Oulipo event and had him sign it, many, many years ago.
