OTM. Any particular favourites, JR (and / or the Bs)?
I am a sucker for Oulipo business but here are some of the other Atlas things I've particularly enjoyed:
Victor Segalen - Journey to the Land of the Real (warped travelogue kind of thing, I liked this even more than"Rene Leys" but maybe not quite as much as "Paintings"; of course those are extensively discussed on the Quartet Encounters thread, which doesn't exist).
Robert Desnos - The Punishments of Evil (mad dadaist novel which, as with pretty much all dada / surrealist novels, doesn't quite maintain the energy it starts out with but still a great ride)
Hans Henry Jahnn - The Living Are Few, the Dead Many (spooked and frequently scabby, the back cover says "crazed marriage of Gothic Romanticism, modern literary expressionism and the experiments of writers such as Joyce and Döblin" - not so sure about he J&D bit but the rest seems spot on).
Bruno Cobra: Sam Nunn is Dead - from a Futurist but more fun than that sounds, the true story of the revolution as fomented by poetry. "Marching onward but to what goal? And to what purpose?
Gerhard Roth - On the Brink - oddly I remember nothing about the contents of this book but recall very clearly being transfixed by its somewhat rotten weirdness, I should read it again.
