Hi, thanks, great recommendation. I won't wade into Bottom's Dream, I have an aversion to all these massive Joyce-influenced tomes but there are some nice Schmidt novella and short story collections in English. I'll prob get the novellas to start, seems like he goes from Nazi to reconstruction period Germany so I'll be on familiar ground. Cheers.

Tentatively, Convenience "all those massive Joyce-influenced tomes"! Is there more than one that's influenced by "Finnegans Wake"?! I can see "Ulysses", maybe, but "Finnegans Wake"?! Do tell.
