Novels in Three Lines - Félix Fénéon, Luc Sante I thought this was excellent and ahead of its time. Quite the quotidian adventure in the spirit of remaining objective (and ironic) in the face of a tragic, beautiful, banal and ridiculous humanity.

I stay with four stars because I'd be hard-pressed to say it's unwaveringly great. It has its weak moments, too, in which the everyday fails to get beyond the 'so what.'

But even physically, it has a lovely cover and texture.

Very worth reading & keeping one's hands on.
