Thanks for the Joyce-url, David.

I'm currently making my way through "Underworld" (in German) which I like,
"Mao II" I liked too. I will definitely try "Seven Seconds" and "White
Noise" too.

I think that Pynchon, Gaddis and DeLillo are in the same American Champions
League of Writers which Frantzen hopes to join too one day. Has somebody
finished "The Corrections" yet?

PS ever tried Pelevin? Tres pynchonesque and very funny.
