Requesting a Western

[RICHARD ROMEO]

Richard,

If you haven't read Thomas Berger's _Little Big Man_, that would be my 
first 

recommendation (don't know if it will meet your strangeness criterion, 

though).  There's also Oakley Hall's _Warlock_, which we discussed on the 


list a while back, and which TRP endorses in his intro to _Been Down So 
Long 

. . ._ (and which I still haven't found, curse the luck).

Thanks, Skip.  I'm actually engrossed in Blood Meridian thanks to this 
group and I must say it's weird enough for me--some really wonderful 
writing there.

On Warlock, I've tried to find it too.  Strangely enough I happen to be 
visiting a library out on Long Island that is connected with my job and 
during my visit I happened to get a tour of the back-shelves where books 
are or will be discarded.  As we were talking, guess what book popped 
out.  Yup Warlock.  Being as this was a work-related visit I couldn't ask 
my colleague whether I could steal something from his collection.  I 
might go back to him if I get totally frustrated...no rare Pynchon's 
hanging around (I checked) (sigh)

Anyway...
