i was lucky to find a 2018 reprinting of women and men for 20 bucks in a bookshop. actress in the house feels exactly how you just described mcelroy and makes his work feel exhausting but brilliant to read. the only other one i've read by him is ancient history a paraphase which is found more genuinely human and also funnier than actress. it also reminded me of pale fire by nabokov which is my favorite book, and also there was some beckett influence in there. i have plus coming in the mail so hopefully that will be the next of his i read.
