She told me on twitter. Not publicly, it was a dm because she doesn't want the knowledge to affect her professional life. I would have saved it but it didn't and I deleted twitter so you just have to trust me.

The Tunnel for one. Also get the William Gass Reader, has some selections from Omensetter's Luck, The Tunnel, Cartesian Sonatas, some of his short stories, and some of his essays from books that are out of print (Gass was a great essayist).

I gave this a go the other day and it was him rambling about stones in pockets and sex; I didn't really "get it". Though I was also reading on an e-r*ader (which I hate) so maybe the format was fucked up cause it felt that way

It's just him exploring the concept of "blue" from every angle he could think of. I found myself more entertained by his style than by the substance of his words, honestly. Was following him pretty well until he started talking about the Greeks like 3/4 of the way in.

>> No.15271488

The pederson kid is one of my favorite short stories/novellas.havent read any of his novels yet...his style might become grating in a tome.ive had the tunnel on my tbr list for a while though.eventually I’ll bite the bullet
