Bibliophilia Obscura: Eccentric Spaces by Robert Harbison
http://makifat.blogspot.com/2012/07/eccentric-spaces-by-robert-harbison.html
Tuesday, July 03, 2012. Eccentric Spaces by Robert Harbison. John Soane House, London. Corvo's grotesque Don Renato and Radcliffe's gothic Mysteries of Udolpho. There is a masterful extended summary of Colonna's bizarre Hypnerotomachia Poliphili. Harbison looks at the deliberate alienness of Flaubert’s Salammbo. And the strange inertia of Pater’s Marius the Epicurean. Which makes reference to one of Pater’s tweedy descendants:. Plan of William Beckford's Fonthill Abbey. Huysman’s La Cathedrale.

A Portrait in Flesh: Review: Vathek
http://aportraitinflesh.blogspot.com/2013/05/review-vathek.html

Is charming and potently hallucinatory stuff meant to be taken in one giant dose, like a short story. Take a couple of hours and give it your undivided attention;. Is a sort of world unto its own: equal parts. And also something unclassifiable and gorgeous an...
