Justine liked Dave's review of The Magic Mountain:
The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann
"Apparently Tommy said people who read this book should read it twice but, really, once was more than enough."

Ian Penman’s Erik Satie Three Piece Suite is a playful and joyous celebration of the composer and pianist. Most of you know Satie’s pieces The Gymnopédies and Gnossiennes, you may have even played the songs to soundtrack to your melancholic, nostalgic, and contemplated moments (I know I have). But there is much more to Satie, a whimsical, eccentric, proto-surrealist, who dipped in and out of various genres and artistic mediums, an artist was a product of but also often just slightly ahead of his time.

This Three Piece Suite is not a straightforward biography, but in snippets, a dictionaries, and a journal, it strays beyond Satie, but Satie still stands at the heart of the book. Penman tackles the enigmatic Satie but also modernity with an infectious enthusiasm that brings a hope and lightness to our own times: ]]> Review7553690492 Wed, 28 May 2025 06:11:42 -0700 <![CDATA[Justine added 'Erik Satie Three Piece Suite']]> /review/show/7553690492 Erik Satie Three Piece Suite by Ian Penman Justine gave 4 stars to Erik Satie Three Piece Suite (Kindle Edition) by Ian Penman

Justine liked Rhe-Anne Tan's review of Essays Two:
Essays Two by Lydia Davis
"lydia davis is a more disciplined person than i will ever be and these essays made me feel ashamed of living in france and the netherlands yet having a negligible grasp of either language"
