It is a Twisted Spoon Press kind of day. Book mail—both titles out now in UK and Europe, coming in November to North America.

"[...] A Prague Flâneur is a lovely document of its times and, especially, place, and an appealing personal account, Nezval a very good guide also to the feel of the place -- and parts of the artistic scene there (and beyond) as well."

"[...] the portrait that emerges is of a woman for whom the boundary between the world of the spirit and the world of the flesh has become somewhat permeable."

Happy Birthday!
