8. Haldor Laxness and Jon Fosse are among the classic novels in my queue, neither would be a reread. And I will start the new Javier Marías that comes out in English, it takes me too long in Spanish. Twentieth century Polish poetry, and more on the Polish history of ideas and literature. And I’ve vowed to read more museum catalogs (more picture books !). In German I will try Goethe’s Dichtung und Wahrheit , reread some Rilke, some Tuschel, and maybe some more Herta Müller.
Javier Marias, Thus Bad Begins . I have only started this, but so far I like it very much. I have enough faith in Marias to put in on the list.
4. Javier Marías, The Infatuations . I’m not sold on the ending, but most of the time this feels like one of his two or three best books. I don’t think it will be his breakthrough book to “truly famous like Rushdie or Coetzee global author” status, but that moment likely will come.
6. Javier Marias, A Heart so White . Loved it, a modern classic by Spain’s leading writer.
10. Javier Marias is good, especially A Heart so White .
