Chekhov's Mistress
A New Book TV Show on the Net
As has and probably will be widely noted in these parts, Daniel Menaker’s TitlePage.tv just launched with Richard Price, Colin Harrison, Susan Choi, and Charles Bock as the first guests. Sounds promising and I think it’s at one level it’s just good to have books discussed in an engaging manner in any format. Let’s just hope that the show’s participants will be authors whose writing – and not merely their publicity budget – is “noteworthy.”

I was just thinking, that is there any American writer or book you good reading enthusiasts could recommend to me? I’m finnish and it’s not that easy to know what is considered important as far as contemporary American literature goes.
Now I’m reading Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow and I just love every worf of it. This experience is so powerfull that it encourages me to ask about the contemporary American writers. I have to admit that my previous experience on the literature of your continent is based on beatniks like Bukowski and Burroughs which I loved, but I think that there is more to the scene of American literature and I would like to know which was the best place to start digging.
Maybe my post is out of place in here and I’m sorry about that, but some things just have to be asked.
Your,
J.Inkinen
