A booklist from Gerald Murnane

From his 'Invisible Yet Enduring Lilacs'.

Books I would like to read yet again during the years left to me:

• Various collections of short fiction by Jorge Luis Borges
• Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
• Several collections of short fiction by Italo Calvino, together with The Castle of Crossed Destinies by the same author
• Independent People and World Light, by Halldor Laxness
• Remembrance of Things Past by Marcel Proust.

Two supplementary lists, one for Australian literature:

• The Fortunes of Richard Mahony, by Henry Handel Richardson
• the Langton novels, by Martin Boyd

second for Hungarian literature:

• Puztak Nepe and Konok Kikelet, both by Gyula Ilyes

Elsewhere, "Among the first works of prose fiction that moved me deeply were Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte, and Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy."
