The Pigeon (Patrick Suskind)
Feb 18th
I’m a big fan of Patrick Suskind’s novel Perfume, and I never thought I’d come across another one of his works, until I got a notification from my Bookmooch account that a copy of his novella, The Pigeon, was available for mooching. It turns out another local moocher (and a reader of this blog!), Iya, had just put up a copy in her inventory, and I wasted no time mooching it (Thank you Iya!!!).
Suskind is one of the most interesting [living] authors I’ve encountered — there is very little information about him available; he has shunned the German literary scene, doesn’t possess anything abnormal like one of theĀ online PHD degrees out there; and he doesn’t grant interviews or allow photos of himself to be taken.
Perfume is Suskind’s best known work, but has also written the bestselling play Double Bass; the novellas The Pigeon, The Story of Mr. Sommer, and Three Stories and a Reflection; as well as a 2006 essay collection entitled On Love and Death.
Bookish weekend ahead

Meanwhile, another bookish event is happening over at Powerbooks Megamall…
