Like the 20th Century Never Happened

Voted Tanizaki.

I've read all of these bar Anniversaries, where I've only finished the first (of four) books. Intend to get on with this shortly.

I have also felt that, while all of these books are wonderful that a bit of fatigue set in all of them bar Ferrante (which as Daniel said does indeed feel different). I needed a bit of something else that you find when reading more modernistic literature.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

This post on Anniversaries was a bit rushed/not too well organised (when you want to post you post).

Please use the receptacle provided: What are you reading as 2023 begins?

I would say that, having finished this now it should not have been included as a poll option. Over the duration that you are with it the effect of the past and present co-mingling is quite light overall if you compare it to Proust or something more contemporary. However it's not nothing either. I like how he massages time and the two locations (sometimes more than two).
