Biblioklept on Patience (After Sebald)
Stealing from Conversational Reading
Wanted to give a shout out to QC contributing editor Scott Bryan Wilson’s incipient publishing endeavor, the first two products of which I’ve recently read and enjoyed. As Scott aptly puts it:
These two chapbooks juxtapose one another by disagreeing in every aspect save for the remarkable quality of the writing, complementing each other nicely.
They’re $3 each, which I’d say is an extremely reasonable price.
