I got my copies of my other book Twlight of the Avant-Garde yesterday. It's kind of anticlimactic after Apocryphal Lorca. But then I think that parts of this book have been published in Diacritics and Hispanic Review, that this book represents much of my best work between 1996 and about 2005. The $95 price tag means that I will be giving away a lot fewer of TOTAV than copies of AL, which is $45 with a 40% discount.

The Tàpies cover is nice, and they spelled my name right. I found a typo on the first page of the acknowledgments so I am a little hesitant to read the book. Post-publication blues are a bummer.
