I would also like to know what you mean by coasting.  I believe his 
novels of the eighties are a lot more ambitious than books like "Great 
Jones Street" and "Running Dog" (not to say that there aren't good bits in 
all of the books).  Now whether his actual achievements are up to the 
ambition seems more debateable, but I would not call it coasting.
