William T. Vollmann Discussion Thread
Where is a good starting point for Vollmann's work? He has a hefty and considerable amount of literature published since 1987 of large and encyclopedic-sized books and seems like an interesting writers, from what I've gathered of his interviews so far.
europe central
i haven't read anything by him but that's where i want to start
you're welcome
Probably the Atlas or the Rainbow Stories
After that you could give his historical fiction a go
what could go wrong?

Europe Central is an attention-whore. It used WWII as a backdrop to fairly banal issues, trying to elevate them - and, in my eyes, failing. Hate to be a memer, but the same thing in GR doesn't feel as cheap.
But it is beautifully researched, I admit.
