Picked up these three last Friday.

This is a collection of letters to and from Ezra Pound, as well as criticism, introductions, etc. I like the cover, which is a bit too busy.

I picked up Thomas Bernhard’s Correction last year on reader recommendation (recommendation: read Bernhard). Saw The Loser in the shop used, so I picked it up. Any recommendation on which one to start with?

A midcentury paperback of Louis Zukofsky’s A Test of Poetry. This is a strange book. I’d better let Zukofsky explain it:

The back cover is lovely as well:

  1. Begin with The Loser. My favourite of his novels, and shorter and funnier than Correction.

  2. I’ve read The Loser a couple times a year for the past few years, if that’s any recommendation.
