1. The Logogryph by Thomas Wharton. I started reading The Logogryph outside last spring and decided that I was only going to read it outside. Since it is a collection of vignettes on reading, books and readers it lends itself well to this prolonged reading schedule. Whenever I think of the book now, I'm reminded of hammocks and ... ... Icefields and later with an odd, intriguing book called Salamander. I suspect, he is a big Borges fan.

I just wanted to pass on to anyone who was interested in getting a copy of The Logogryph, that Baker and Taylor, one of the bigger book distributors here in the states, is now carrying it so most bookstores who use B&T should be able to get it. Previously, one could only get them through the ... I ordered, bought and read The Logogryph because it showed up on the shortlist for last year's Impac/Dublin prize and because I recognized the author's name from a previous book AND because someone declared enthusiastically, in the Prizes Group, that it was a favorite book.

So oddly mesmerizing. Why in the world hasn't it been published outside of Canada? (I just may email the author and ask...). Thomas Wharton's Salamander and Logogryph. They are in a rather large TBR pile (if pile is the appropriate word here). See the publisher blurbs for both books I just posted on the longer of the two "Underappreciated Authors" thread.
I haven't read yet it but I've managed to acquire two copies of his Salamander and, with some difficulty, a copy of Logogryph which is shortlisted for the Impac Dublin Award (or was). If no one minds, here are rather longish descriptions of his 2nd and 3rd books from their publishers.
