They all sound like worthy reads, for sure. Though I love Byatt's novels, I haven't read any of her collections--thanks for the nudge! I'm surprised that I haven't heard of Jonathan Lethem before and intrigued by the OCD quality of that quote--curious if he reveals what motivated him to return again and again to Star Wars? I must to check that out. (Curiouser and curiouser, as Alice said.) As for the Writer essay collection--can't seem to stay away from those.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12650414265424933827noreply@blogger.com
