darconville's cat
"Reality," it's been written, "is the only word in the language that has no meaning without quotation marks."![]()
- Many thanks, once again, to Abdellah Bouazza, who also notes that "VN didn't say 'the only word,' but 'one of the few words.'"
- Darconville's Cat is well worth reading--many mention the endless and exhaustive (and funny) lists when reviewing the novel, but equally noteworthy is a long chapter title followed by a one-word chapter. There is also a monstrous and mostly effective romantic arc.
- Alexander Theroux, interviewed.
