I is for Washington Irving and his American transformations of German stories.
H
H is for Nathaniel Hawthorne. Rather than for Hemingway.
G
G is for William Gaddis. The Gaddis of The Recognitions as I still have to finish JR.
F
F is for Raymond Federman, I translated The Voice in the Closet. Hence no Faulkner whose work I find difficult.
E
E is for Dave Eggers? I have not read enough Emerson, Steve Erickson, Ralph Ellison, and nothing by Stanley Elkin or Louise Erdrich.
D
D is for Don Delillo. Sure there’s Samuel Delany, and there’s Mark Z. Danielewski. But I keep gravitating towards Delillo’s early novels.
C
C should be for Robert Creeley. Favorite poet, rhythm-wise. Could be for the writings of John Cage as well.
