"Perec managed to write one of the best books of ther twentieth century, and despite being dead, is still not recognised. This book spans the inhabitants of a Parisian apartment block over sixty years"
"Smith's first published work from this year. Imagine those dry American beat novels mixed with more drugs, and less 'englightening' drug experiences, depressing, and hopeful too. A light read."
"Legendary South American short-story writer, Borges creates entire epics in ten page stories. An anti-modernist, he somewhat ironically pre-empted post-modern literature."
"Somewhat iconic American reclouse, this is a good book to start getting into Pynchon whose playful narratives and language can be disorientating. Like a stoned Joseph Heller."
