JPS: selling a non-thumbed copy of that Littell book, eh? I'm sorry to say that even if you were to send it me free, pay the postage, and add a banknote for $100 / ?100 / €100 slipped in between the first few pages, I would politely refuse. I can read French, but I'd rather practise it by reading other things.

Unfortunately, I sense that life is not too short for Littell, in the sense that he will probably live till he's ninety and cash in on the Holocaust with another twenty books, squeezing that subject dry like a lemon (e.g. "Me and N?mirovsky - a postmodernistical fantasy, chiefly about myself"; "Why I Know More About the Holocaust Than Primo Levi"; "How I Visited the Ruins of 81 Synagogues in Europe and Took Photos"; "Me and N?mirovsky II"; "Why I am Nearly as Clever as Arnon Grunberg"; "How I Experienced the Holocaust Through a Medium and Ouija Board [Volumes I, II, III]; Why I've Not Bothered to Learn Yiddish Properly"; "Holocaust Rap For Beginners"; "Concordance to 'The Kindly Ones' [two volumes]; "Max Aue and Me"; "The Shits and Me - a book of Holocaust puns"; "A Textual Comparison Between the Marquis de Sade and Me - a book to my advantage"; "Me and Me"; "Littell Gods").
