Luis is another author you promote in this book and elsewhere. Nothing of his has been translated yet although he's written several works which i find really superior. He tries out different things new things he tells stories in new ways, so that appeals to me greatly. You won't get the same book you got last time you'll get something completely different when you pick up the next one.
Michael Orthofer, one of the world’s most prolific book reviewers, joins Tyler Cowen for a conversation on — what else? — books. Read to discover why Michael believes everyone should read more fiction, how we should choose books, why American popular literature is overrated, what he thinks about authors like Herman Melville, Fyoder Dostoevsky, Goethe, J.K. Rowling, Arno Schmidt, and many others, his recommendations for the best sites for readers, why studying literature at college was such a big disappointment, how much book covers matter, and why his opinion will never be the final word.
