Terrible name for a bookstore (doubly so because it used to be called Labyrinth), but excellent collection of remaindered fiction-- they have piles and piles of <a href="http://www.dalkeyarchive.com/" rel="nofollow">Dalkey Archive</a> stuff there, too. I actually recently added Kharms' <em><a href="http://www.overlookpress.com/book-detail.php?book_isbn=1-58567-743-4" rel="nofollow">Today I Wrote Nothing: The Selected Writing of Daniil Kharms</a></em> to my <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1395061?shelf=to-read" rel="nofollow">to-read list</a>.

I actually recently added Kharms’ Today I Wrote Nothing: The Selected Writing of Daniil Kharms to my to-read list. It looks like it contains the material for Incidences in a new translation—by a translator who was recently praised by my favourite poetry critic.

But that’s just luck—keep the recommendations for fragmentary prose coming!

Though I think I might stick to the old-skool format... Did you happen across Daniil Kharms' Incidences when it was published a couple of years back by Serpent's Tail? Excellent work. All power to to the fragmentary! And afascinating (though tragic) life. I’ve been meaning to get my hands on this. Though I think I might stick to the old-skool format…
