Have you read Rodrigo Fresán’s “Melvill”? Other than the length, this description reminds me a lot of it. It, too, is an apocryphal book with two centers, one Herman Melville, and the other his father.

No, but I have heard of it and I will put it on my list now! Thank you for the recommendation 🙏🏾

Curious about this one, in large part because of Lawton's work with Sorokin. Can't imagine he'd spend this much time on an author who didn't have something interesting going on.

Lentz has a lot of very interesting things happening in Schattenfroh. I can't imagine the translation process for something like this.
