After Deep Vellum saved Dalkey from failure they removed a great number of out of print books from the catalog, but left Bottom's Dream in. I think this is a good sign.
>>
>>25157297
In your dreams anon.

>>25156223
How does it compare in quality to everything else written after 1945? From what I understand it’s heavily inspired by FW.

Quick rundown?

>>25158194
Schmidt's work isn't all that great. Most of them are just sexual jokes with lots of parodic intellectual talk.

>>25159544
So essentially, Zettel’s Traum is him getting a bit big for his britches and he doesn’t have that same skill Joyce has in that linguistic wizardry in FW? Why do people even talk about this book here then if all it has going for it is its difficulty? Yes, /lit/ loves to talk about hard books but there’s at least there’s merit and skill behind them.

the bottom referring to the lower part of a city, and the dream referring to becoming a wealthy aristocrat
of course to achieve that you will have to suck a couple of cocks along the way, but for OP it was a sacrifice he was willing to make

$1600

That is pretty much it, Dalkey was going under, Deep Vellum bought them and turned things around.
