Praise for Georgy Riecke:
‘Georgy Riecke cracks me up. It’s all this thrilling talk of wild-eyed Russian nihilists and the idiosyncratic practice of the Speyer doctrines. I find it hilarious’ (DOMINO)
‘Riecke is spineless Speyer-lite. I’ve scuffed my shoes on better critics’ (Aldous Egg)

A quick peruse shows you’ve certainly peered into the neglected corners of literature you mention, Georgy, & with abandon!

Hi. I gave you a little plug on my blog. Hope it’s ok with you.

Bath-plugs and ear-plugs have never done me any wrong, but I’m a bigger fan of blog-plugs – especially if I’m the blog being plugged is mine (and if the person doing the plugging has wonderful taste).

I can’t find your RSS Feed icon, Georgy.

I think I may have just located it (bottom of the right column).
At first I thought you were referring to the literary icon Johannes Speyer, whose middle names – Rudolph and Sebastien – created the initials JRSS

Haha!
Nope. I’m afraid that link doesn’t work. It is in your widgets.

I’m afraid my knowledge of these things barely extends beyond the chronically ignorant. My ‘widgets’ simply allow me to link to other RSS feeds; my own, for all I know, is found at http://georgyriecke.wordpress.com/feed/
