Will Gass-poster ever share his GR?
>>7972032
Someday, maybe. I'll probably make an account for /lit/ purposes.
>>7972053
nice, would be interested in seeing it. I've butted heads with you in quite a few threads, I hated Middle C and just finished the Tunnel last month.
I'm glad you and others have been pushing Hawkes, Gaddis, Gass, McElroy, and Vollmann on here, its been great.

Im reading the Dying Grass, and while I enjoy his prose and subject matter, his formatting is fucking silly.
I been getting dirty money Jordan Belfort
Stacking penny stocks while I'm flipping these birds
Sipping on Ciroc, trip em up with the words
I just popped a molly and I think this be my third
Jordan Belfort
Jordan Belfort
I been getting dirty money Jordan Belfort
Stacking penny stocks while I'm flipping these birds
I just flipped a birdy, Money so dirty
Got my bitch a mink, furry like Furby
Came up made a milly, spent it on a rollie
Stackin gouda, feta, chedda cheese 'n' ravioli
Or maybe fettuccine, dirty martini
I'm a fuck yo bitch (What), call me Houdini
Drivin' Lamborghini, yo ho in a bikini
Eight bottles to the neck, three wishes from a genie
Benjamin ain't dirty, but these Franklins be filthy
Always going to court but I'm never pleadin' guilty
Ballin' so hard I only be slam dunkin'
Beat steady rockin' and the trunk straight thumpin'
I be ridin' foreign pourin' merlot while I swerve
Pedal to the medal when I'm whippin' round the curve
Rollin up this marijuana you can smell the herb
And I be getting all this lettuce and I ain't talkin' iceberg
Jordan Belfort, Burberry shirt
LV loafers on my sofa in Bel-Air
Turnin' up daily cause we can't turn down at work
I been lightin' loud lately
Like my volume switch don't work
And my cologne is Versace, Medusa got me stoned
I'm always high on something
But I usually like to smoke
We been long time friends, me and Ben Frank
Every fucking day he needs a ride home from the bank
Muhfucka you don't know me you ain't in my tax section
My wallet ain't fat it's in the gym straight flexing
I don't call your bitch back and shes checkin' her reception
Bitch with double D's she's all up on my erection
And I'm in the ovaries but I ain't about affection
So easily the sober me just smokes and then forgets them
Sometimes this life seems a little stressful
>>7972083
No sillier than The Tunnel, to be honest
>>7972064
Well, I try. I've also been trying to introduce more people to Theroux, Coover, and others like them, though I don't think they'll ever get any attention here.
>>7972089
Good 'ole Gass.
>>7972116
Where would you start with Theroux?
>>7972089
i too have read the first 10 pages of this book
>>7972249
fair, there is almost none of it in the last half of the book, while in Dying Grass its literally every page. Gass does it in Middle C too though, and a little bit in Cartesian Sonata.

Why not study a new learn and read some poetry in the original, instead of putting work in to read 2nd rate "le difficult 20th century prose man" novels?

>"le difficult 20th century prose man"
I actually like this description.
