Richard --
I read "Flicker" when it first came out and thought it was one of those
truly unusual examples of a "popular" literary novel. While the ending
bothered me (as I recall it got sort of SF-ish and weird), the set-up was
brilliant. It evoked that feeling of discovering movies as an art form, and
the character who was a stand in for Pauline Kael was fascinating. I highly
recommend. It came out in paper, and maybe you can still find it.
