NP Vollmann's / external referents (hyperlinks)

Hi--

Gass has written more essays than fiction I think but you may want to try
the shorter earlier novels before tackling his opus The Tunnel

I got thru the earlier seven dreams books that vollman wrote--the rifles;
fathers and crows; still have argall to read; the ice shirt wasn't bad come
to think of it. for all its faults I think these books are what vollman will
be remembered by--i think of them as fact-ion
