I was speaking about desert island books with Lance Olsen last week. Which three would you choose? But for the sake of difficulty, there are rules. No Complete Works of Shakespeare – only one play or the sonnets, etc. Also Ulysses by Joyce is so widespread that if it is a pick of yours, simply leave an * at the end of your three picks. Also at least one of the three must be a small press book. I’ll leave it up to you to decide what a small press book is. Mine:
The Complete Poems of Wallace Stevens
King Lear
I Looked Alive – Lutz
Olsen’s (we didn’t get so far)
The Unnameable – Beckett
