Smuggler's bible is one of the only "hard" books I really couldn't get much out of. I felt it was more impenetrable than books like GR and the Recognitions: outside of the sheer ingenuity of many of the scenes, it didn't seem to culminate in any cogent way (although I sense that was part of the point). How did you understand it?

I haven't read that book yet, its just my planned next book after a long series of re-reads. I'm not surprised to hear you say that. I read cannonball, and I felt the same way, but he was also like 81 when it was published. I am basically expecting striking imagery and metaphors and an attempt at putting the experience of memories to paper out of it. McElroy seems like a weird dude. The two short stories I've read from him are also really heady.
