Magdalena Tulli

I've never heard of her previously, but just ordered Dreams and Stones based on this piece about her book Flaw. The reviewer compares Magdalena Tulli's work to Jorge Luis Borges, Italo Calvino, and Bruno Schulz, which has to be some kind of trifecta.

Archipelago Books puts out some beautiful looking books. Regardless over my freakout of the word hymenoptera, the translation of Gombrowicz's Bacacay flowed very well for me. I actually trust Bill Johnston's interpretation.

What's with the Polish kick for me anyway? Don't forget about Poland, man.
