Any takes on Matt Ruff, who the Washington Post says is "Very much in 
the absurdist tradition of Pynchon, Heller, Robbins, and Vonnegut" in 
it's review of "Sewer, Gas & Electric"?  

I seem to recall somemention on the p-list, particularly  vis-a-vis a 
character in this novel who descends into the sewers of NY to hunt 
alligators, apparently amidst many other literary 
references/plagiarisms. But whenever the subject of this book came 
up, I was completely unfamiliar with it and deleted any messages that 
might have mentioned it.
