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)

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

  2. 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).

  4. Which I do, yes.

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

  6. georgyriecke Says:

    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

  7. Haha!

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

  8. georgyriecke Says:

    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/

  9. That’s what I needed, Georgy! Thank you!
