With available time this year running out to do just about anything, let alone making blog posts, here’s what was going to be a much more robust rundown (a la the music post) of the books that made commutes more bearable and the imagination and intellect a little more fertile in 2008. Time and travel got the best of our dear blogger, so you’re left with a mere abbreviated list of authors and titles. [Note: The book review department here at tirado/thrown resolves to generate a better year in books for you, our dear readers, in 2009.]
- W.G. Sebald: Vertigo
- Michelle Aharonian Marcom: The Mirror in the Well
- Eugenio Trias: La Dispersion
- Franz Kafka: The Blue Octavo Notebooks
- Jacques Ranciere: On the Shores of Politics
- Thomas Frank: The Wrecking Crew: How Conservatives Rule
- Hanif Kureishi: Something To Tell You
- Martin Heidegger: On Time and Being
- Kaja Silverman: World Spectators
- Pedro Angel Palou: Con la Muerte en los Punos
- Herman Melville: The Confidence Man- His Masquerade
- Eddie Martinez and Chuck Webster, ZieherSmith Joint Catalog
Best wishes from tirado/thrown for an outstanding 2009! We hope to be posting more in the coming year. Thanks for dropping by and reading!
