Pleased to see the excellent Based on a True Story! Fleur Jaeggy was new to me, too, when I read Sweet Days of Discipline last March.

Some amazing writers on your list Juliana- I’m keen to read Based on a True Story. I have a Nicole Krauss in the 746 but can’t remember which one. I’ll have to check it out.
