I am slowly reading 'The Books of Jacob'. However,I will be up for a reread next year
I'm off to finish Reading the Holocaust before dinner. I'm grateful that you brought these two books to my attention. I loved your old posts ending with Canto 88 and the post on Ezra Pound, but couldn't find my copy, so ordered a new copy, which I will start this evening.
I have received them first edition of Reading the Holocaust today. I bought the 2nd edition 1999, but it omits the passages in Beginnings about the literary hoax too so now I have the OUP 1999 edition and the later Canto edition of 2002. I would be interested in knowing your edition Jeff, as I would like the complete version. Both of my editions are university presses, so I wonder why it is missing. I have nearly finished the book, fascinating, beautifully written, but harrowing.
I am glad you are enjoying it. I have the 2000 edition from the Australian publisher Text. I imagine some of the early non-Australian editions might have omitted the first part given the reference to an Australian scandal.
Oops, premature posting, sorry.
