All Quiet on the Western Front

All Quiet on the Western Front is given from the perspective of the losing side, which is still rare when it comes to war literature, especially in translation and from this era.

Less Than Zero

Bret Easton Ellis

Less Than Zero

Looking at this book as being about a generation as whole is not really the way to get a complete picture of it nor of the statement it makes.

Crows: An Old Rhyme

Contemporary American Literature

Crows: An Old Rhyme

When I think about the reader I am now and what influences guided me to become so interested in literature, I inevitably remember this book. It was one of the books I carefully preserved when I grew up. It still sits on my bedside table as an adult.

A towering stack of old books. The Old Paper & Cats icon.
