Chekhov's Mistress
Ambition Abounds
First there was the Gaddis Drinking Club, then the Proust Reading Group, 400 Windmills, Rising Up Rising Down, and now there’s….
Drumroll Please…
That’s right folks, a few crazy bloggers are going to read all of William T. Vollman’s Books. That’s a lot of books.
They, they being Black Market Kidneys, Conversational Reading, The Happy Booker, Rake’s Progress and Return of the Reluctant, say:
We’re passionate about literature. So, yes, we’re insane to some degree. And while Mr. Vollmann is a very prolific writer (rivaling only Joyce Carol Oates), splitting the books among five people isn’t nearly as unwieldy as it seems. Plus, there’s no hard deadline to finishing his books, which means that we can all go about our lives while pursuing this.
We’ll be updating the blogroll and watching closely.
Read widely, think well, and write often
