labia boy

[Otto]

I just recommend it as a good book dealing with the male chauvinist character of most of the classical and pre-modern literature.

But most of all it's incredibly funny, and I'm sure Barth has learned from Nabokov as much as Pynchon.

  Now there's a good idea!  Why not have a reading of one of Barth's novels while we're at it?  After all, if you've got two going, one more's not going to make that much difference.
  Just to make it even more muddied, I'll vote for _Giles Goat Boy_ or GGB.
