I read this after GR and I couldn't get past page 20 and it really put me off his other stuff. Are the others also this bad?

Nah, the rest is relatively good, some of his other novels are maybe just as good as GR, IMHO, but Bleeding Edge is just a giant turd. Try reading Lot 49.
>>
>>8249078
Vineland was pretty trashy in its own way. Though the trashiness was somewhat thematically relevant. Also the stories in Slow Learner are pretty lame. I actually didn't mind Bleeding Edge that much. It obviously wasn't anywhere near his best but it was amusing enough.

A baffling novel.

I actually really like BE and think its one of the best of the 21st century.
>>
>>8249862
Well yeah but that doesn't mean much when you're talking about 21st century literature.

Did he write it from the horse's perspective or something batshit like that?
>>
>>8249314
kek that novel was fucking insanity.
>>8249902
Yessir.

>>8249937
That's actually something I'd expect from Hawkes, t b h.

>>8249072
Holy fuck, I managed to write a bait so bad that /lit/ didn't fall for it.

>>8249074
Really? Not Vineland? I mean, I kinda liked that it had a female protagonist for starters.
>>
>>8249196
delete this and then delete yourself

Who cares about that. Also, Vineland had basically a female protagonist as well since DL appeared more than Zoyd.
