From the Mouth of the Whale by Sjon, Robert Cribb
	George Carroll, March 20, 2013 FSG is releasing three books by Sjon at once: From the Mouth of the Whale, The Blue Fox, and The Whispering Muse. The latter hasn't seen the US shores until now. Sjon (Sigurjón Birgir Sigurðsson) weaves myth through all of his narratives. Of the three, my favorite is From the Mouth of the Whale. Dark and funny. A walk in the funhouse without the creepy clown laughter and the mirrors. Well, not like a funhouse at all, then, is it?

Satantango by Laszlo Krasznahorkai, George Szirtes
	George Carroll, January 30, 2013 There's no one writing like Krasznahorkai in any language. That his books have been so slow to release in English is a tragedy. Satantango, written in the mid 1980s, is pertinent and current. Dark, apocalyptic, and ... beautiful. George Szirtes did an amazing job of translation.
