The Rousseau and Shelley references you bring up are very interesting--hadn't thought of Humboldt in that light before. And thanks for the congrats on the nomination thing, which came out of left field as far as I'm concerned. Somebody must have been feeling awfully charitable or something to nominate a blog that hardly anybody even reads!Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01746599416342846897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-54130773968227662422009-09-09T13:43:56.722-04:002009-09-09T13:43:56.722-04:00PS - Congratulations on being shortlisted for BBAW...PS - Congratulations on being shortlisted for BBAW - you totally deserve it! And I'm 100% with you on the looming end of the Bolaño readalong. What will we all do?

(Windsor Button.) What a coincidence.<br /><br />The passage you cited reminds me of <em>Frankenstein</em> - all the Rousseau-ish influences with the sinister undertone seeping through...although in Humboldt's case maybe the atmosphere seems more sad than sinister. In any case, intriguing review!Emilyhttp://www.eveningallafternoon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-1921975440621228582009-09-09T10:17:10.700-04:002009-09-09T10:17:10.700-04:00Claire, doesn't that series look great?

This one's going to my dad now that I'm done with it, but the more I read of it the less I wanted to give it away!Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01746599416342846897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-79326855036902518322009-09-08T17:35:16.901-04:002009-09-08T17:35:16.901-04:00I had seen this series about a month ago in the bo...I had seen this series about a month ago in the bookstore and wanted to purchase the whole set!clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14397226316253896335noreply@blogger.com
