NP Fan Man

[Otto Sell]

Yes, in August 1980  - so I just took the book (translation) out of the
bookshelf and began to read - as fas as I remember it occured to me like
some kind of Bukowski-follower those days. Have never read anything else by
him. But back then days I wasn't yet into critical theory . . . the blurb
said that it's a "funny Avantgarde-novel"  - probably the reason I bought
it - but somehow I didn't get the joke. But thematically a lot of thrash and
waste in that book. Should I give it a second read or is there anything else
he's written worth reading?
