The street of crocodiles and other stories | 
What can I say? Bruno Schulz is the author I return to the most and his books are where I push my fellow readers, hoping they will fall into his pages and pull the covers over their heads and dream about literature #setineasterneurope .
Moray_Reads I love Schulz's work. I'm aware that's it's decisive but have you read Jonathan Safran Foer's Tree of Codes? 7y
Hobbinol @Moray_Reads OMG yes! I learned about it at a reading Foer gave here and was able to track down a copy. I think Foer is brilliant! 7y
Moray_Reads @Hobbinol oh I'm glad, I know some people hate it. I love Street of Crocodiles and I think Tree of Codes is genius. And a really impressive piece of publishing too 7y

vivastory @Hobbinol I adore Bruno Schulz. "Regions of the Great Heresy" is the most devastating biography I've ever read, never wept so much during a biography. I saw Foer in September & hoped they'd be selling "Tree of Codes." Alas, no such luck. 7y
Hobbinol @Moray_Reads Well said. I thoroughly agree on both counts, conceptually and technically. 7y
Hobbinol I felt the same way & even asked Foer about it. He warned me that Tree would be difficult to come by. I was able to find a copy for about $40. The book dealer described it as in "very good" condition. I was thrilled to get it. It was perfect & looked like it had never been read at all. Try bookfinder.com if you really want a copy. Or eBay. The book will surely become more scarce & valuable. Thanks so much for your insightful comments @vivastory ! 7y
