The Seven Greatest Novels of the 21st century
posted Saturday, 26 June 2010
Those who follow my blog regularly will know that I have been obsessed by Retrocausality since the publication of ‘Cern Zoo’.
Well, here are the seven greatest novels of the 21st century. Some have yet even to be written!
WITNESS PROTRACTION by Joel Lane
KOSMOS by Mark Samuels
MARGARET by PF Jeffery
EBLUM by Quentin S Crisp
THE COAXIS by Mark Valentine
NEMONYMOUS NIGHT by DF Lewis
JANGO’S RIFF by Rhys Hughes
They may not be the exact titles. Retrocausality is more an art than a science. DJANGO’S REEF, for example, is just one possible alternative.
Last Balcony: Essex Serpents and Pier’s Echo 
TODAY I AM APPENDING BELOW THE COVERS FOR ABOVE BOOKS.
Breaking News: Thomas Ligotti starts writing a novel entitled MISTER CAN in 2011 or 2012.

Someone elsewhere has referred to this as a possible ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’. I’d say it is more a future event radiating causation backward in time. Cf: The Hadron Collider etc.
The above retrocausality is also aligned with ‘selves’ in my favourite novel by Proust. I first read the Combray section in French in 1967, the whole translation by Moncrieff in the early 1970s, and the Moncrieff/Kilmartin revised by Enright version in the early 2000s.
