have you read The Tunnel yet?

William H. Gass is widely considered America's foremost prose stylist because of this novel, and it's considered to be near the peak of postmodern literature.

>He wanted her ass, he wanted her gass. He ;longed for her anal effluence to flow freely over his face like fairy dust. He so desired to wrap his pink and hot and wet prick in the pergola wherein tangled her coarse arse hair and in which her stink became trapped. She had an arse full of farts that night and he fucked them out of her.

Disgusting degenerate author.

Yes, and I love it, but I would probably attribute his acclaim to his earlier works, like Omensetter's Luck and In the Heart of the Heart of the Country, not his later ones.

Both wrong: though its prose is its most obvious pull, it has a number of other things to enjoy--long, complicated, and highly complex rants on philosophical concepts; an interesting and, disturbingly, relatable narrator; and no small amount of spit and spite for the whole of humanity; and Gass himself denies that his works are postmodern, and, instead, describes them as late or decayed modern.

This guy has been popping up everywhere lately. He wrote the introductions for the last two books I read (Under the Volcano and At Swim-Two-Birds). I picked up a couple of his works to give him a shot.
