Very nice list! I've got Black Dahlia and Palmer Eldritch on my bookshelf--would be nice to get to those myself perhaps this year (amidst the near dozen novels I have to read for this semester). As I've mentioned to you before, PKD is one of my absolute favorites. Even his "lesser," pulpier work shows his prescience (Eye in the Sky would be my recommendation for an early novel of his that toes that line of high/lowbrow. Weird dream-dimension hopping stuff--the part of that book featuring the titular Eye is fun. PKD was absolutely fascinated with religion, surveillance, and control (reminds me of Burroughs). It's s real pleasure seeing his thematic consistency. Made all the more wonderful when you read a real powerhouse like Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? or Ubik. I'm hoping to get my hands on Thomas the Obscure in the next month or so, so that's another one that would be nice to fit in my schedule. Seems more manageable given its length. All the others sound great. I'm familiar with Zeischegg, Labatut, and Hurston but haven't read any of their work yet. Excited to see all these reviews, especially for the totally new books. For Yeats I've read one poem: The Second Coming. That's a phenomenal one.

Just read “Samskara” a few weeks ago — definitely an interesting interrogation of the whole notion of “purity.” It didn’t blow me away on its merits as a novel but I still enjoyed it. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Cliff, if/when you get to Gibbons, you may want to look into Dan Carlin’s podcasts on Rome and his book. The book has stand alone chapters on death and destruction. But there is one fantastic chapter on the irony of Charlemagne and his crowning as the Holy Roman Emperor. Being that he was descended from the barbarians who destroyed Rome. Cool analysis of our desire to reclaim history for our own use.
