In Slate, “Procrastination Lit: Great novels about wasting time,” a “small and unnerving category of literature that is not only about procrastination but that, in form and style, enacts the frenetic paralysis of irrational delay,” compiled by Jessica Winter. Books included are three by Thomas Bernhard (In The Lime Works, The Loser and Concrete), Fanon by John Edgar Wideman, Geoff Dyer’s Out of Sheer Rage: Wrestling With D.H. Lawrence, and William Gaddis’ Agape Agape.
In Library Journal, Neal Wyatt offers an annotated list of six works of fiction on war and remembrance for Memorial Day.
