Roman Simic's literary top ten

Roman Simic, a short fiction writer from Croatia, took the Pulp Net quiz.

A couple of his answers:

My favourite novel that no-one else seems to have heard of

At least here, in Croatia, Donald Barthelme’s The Paradise

The book I’d most like to reread, if I could find it again

I can and I do! The book that I have re-read at least 20 times is Mark Twain’s A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court. Please, don’t laugh too loud.
