Mikhail BulgakovNorthwestern University Press will soon release a book by Daniel L. Medin called Three Sons: Franz Kafka and the Fiction of J. M. Coetzee, Philip Roth, and W. G. Sebald. I can't find it on the Northwestern site yet, but it looks like it'll be issued some time this month or next.
Mr. Waggish has a new post on Coetzee.

Daniel's a friend of mine. He does good work. I believe Gass was the adviser for the diss that became that book.
Thanks, Mr. Waggish. My copy of Daniel Medin's book just arrived. Looks good!
