John Carey again

Another anthology by John Carey plus some others arrived:

81. John Carey ed., The Faber Books of Utopias (FF)
82. J.M. Coetzee, Stranger Shores (Penguin)
83. Stephen Morton, Salman Rushdie (Palgrave)
84. 千住博『美術の核心』(文春新書)

Suffering from a bad toothache...

John Carey is somebody who can really write; if I ever write a who can really write; if I ever write a piece of criticism write; if I ever write a piece of criticism in English, his is the style I want to emulate. Nothing flamboyant, but very substantial.
