Chris Via (Leaf by Leaf)📚

Christmas Via’s new video is a 10-hour-long dive into one of the deepest, darkest books of the 20th century: WILLIAM H. GASS’ THE TUNNEL

@TheUntranslated Small clarification: I’m not reading The Tunnel—I’m reading my own commentary on it. 😁🙏

10 hours of Chris reading William Gass's The Tunnel!

To be clear: I’m not reading The Tunnel—I’m reading my own commentary on it! 😁

Thrilled to read @chrisvia on The Case of Cem in the @USRofC newsletter: "It reminds me of what I love most about the novels of Umberto Eco: you get the expertise of a medievalist and historian, the passion of a teacher, and the creativity of a novelist, all in one book."

US Republic of Consciousness Prize reading: “Nobody in the métro knows what I’m on my way to do, and this gives me a wild feeling of freedom. I love Paris for its constant collision of secrets.” @fernbooks @USRofC #bookx #usrofc

@beyondzeropod @biblioasis @USRofC I waited until after I read it to listen to your episode! 🙏🙏🙏

@chrisvia @biblioasis @USRofC Also recently featured on BTZ. Really enjoyed the book.

US Republic of Consciousness Prize reading: This Icelandic novel concerns multiple generations of secrecy and tragedy and perseverance, brilliantly told from a strange, liminal, roving eye. @biblioasis @USRofC #bookx #usrofc

English translation in autumn 2026 theuntranslated.wordpress.com/2024/04/09/the…

Were I an @USRofC judge, this would be my vote.

US Republic of Consciousness Prize reading: a cycle of linked stories set in Mexico that covers the full spectrum of a group of humans trying to make sense of life—told in trenchant prose reminiscent of Lorrie Moore. @SchaffnerPress @USRofC #bookx #usrofc

This is a book that cleverly, tenderly, and imaginatively teases meaning upon meaning out the concept of crossings and mirrorings from Alice’s looking glass and Escher’s drawing hands. Be receptive and engage in the search. @bellevuepress @USRofC #bookx #usrofc

We are working on a remembrance, but we cannot overstate the influence of #FredricJameson on Duke University Press. We have made his articles in our journals freely available through October 31. "Postmodernism" is our all-time bestselling book. ow.ly/kGvQ50TtqGz
