2013 Book Club Book Nominations

Hello Adult Librarian,

Here are my nominations for this year.

My first nomination is The Princess Hoppy or the Tale of Labrador by Jacques Roubaud. In this charming and witty tale, Princess Hoppy is troubled by the intrigues and machinations of her scheming aunts and uncles, but is supported by her talking, puzzle-solving dog.

My second nomination is Learning Processes with a Deadly Outcome by Alexander Kluge. In the wake of a great and devastating war, the various governments of the human race attempt to reconstruct cultures and economies, but they are only partially successful, and the results are more like a distorted parody.

My third nomination is Une Semaine De Bonte: A Surrealistic Novel in Collage by Max Ernst. The title translates as “A Week of Kindness”. Herein, the author reveals the shocking relationship between the seven deadly elements and the days of the week, and there are lots of birds and lions too.

Thank you very much for your work and your consideration,

       857 on a Monday night
