But there is only one DeLillo - unless you include that Chevy dealer.

  You didn't think that the old Judge  and those Indians in the desert 
were a tad on the humorous side?  -

Btw,  speaking of varied authors,  I'm in the last hundred pages of 
Europe Central by W. Vollmann - has anyone here read it?   I checked 
the archives and there were some derogatory posts about books way 
prior to this one (2005)  but nothing since?
