Somebody: The Reckless Life and Remarkable Career of Marlon Brando.
Booker passed. Apart from the controversial, which has become the regular guest, I did not took a special interest in the event, nor did I rush to the library to pay an indecent amount of money on the winning novel.
What I would spend my money on is the latest Marlon Brando bio: Somebody: The Reckless Life and Remarkable Career of Marlon Brando. One could argue that is the cover and I could not disagree entirely.
From Time: Kanfer portrays Brando as a man at war with himself: self-loathing, self-destructive and self-sabotaging.
It’s not only Literary Agenda who’s back online. Remember the Romanian Literature in Translation project launched in the summer, then subdued in silence for several month? It looks like my fears regarding their disappearance before fame were wrong. They already count four issues, the latest being dedicated to Mircea Nedelciu. Go there and read, read, read. I hope I’ll be back next week with similar projects from other countries.
