Thanks for the info - by coincidence I received a parcel from Canada today
including the Spring Issue of  *The Review of Contemporary Fiction* of 1990
which is devoted to McElroy.
There's the essay from Brian McHale: "Women and Men and Angels: On Joseph
McElroy's Fiction" (p. 227-247).
There are some other very interesting texts including a note from the Polish
translator Piotr Siemion who had also translated *The Crying of Lot 49."
