Steppenwolf
Hermann Hesse, Basil Creighton“This was the book that first got me into Hesse. I think he's the biographer of the introspective because when I first read it I thought it could have been written for me...”
Lolita, 50th Anniversary Edition
Vladimir Nabokov“I don't know why I waited so long to read this (only read it last year). Hilarious, poignant, disconcerting! Shame I haven't liked any of the other Nabokov I've read as much as this.”
The Complete Short Prose of Samuel Beckett, 1929-1989
Samuel Beckett, S. E. Gontarski“I love Beckett. I don't really think he's depressing...it's equal parts tragedy and comedy, the human condition. I love the poetry, the plays, the novels...all of it.”
The Book of Disquiet
Fernando Pessoa, Richard Zenith“Amazing, beautiful existentialist work. The sort that you want to copy passages out from.”
The Waste Land
T. S. Eliot, Michael North“Unreal City! Parts of this pop into my head on a frighteningly regular basis.”
The Dream of a Common Language
Adrienne Rich“A masterpiece. The poem 'History and Origin of Consciousness' is, to me, about as perfect as poetry can get.”
The Complete Poems
Philip Larkin, Archie Burnett“Larkin is one of my very favourites. It's the transcendent moments nestled among all that misery...”
Alfonsina Storni
Alfonsina Storni“I've done a lot of translations of this poet; she is really underappreciated in the UK.”
