Now Voyagers?

. . . .and I've got a vinyl 'Tomato' original of 'Einstein on the Beach' to play 
while reading 'Now Voyagers' by James McCourt. Great link, Scuffing!

". . . .But the serious intellection of the novel is leavened by so much wit and campy 
fun that it goes down easy. It may be the most literary novel of the year, but 
also the silliest; like Gaddis and Pynchon (whose fans are the ideal audience 
for this novel), McCourt knows comedy and tragedy are not antithetical and that 
one can write a novel appealing to both the brain and the funny bone. No new 
novel of 2007 gave me greater pleasure than "Now Voyagers," and I eagerly await 
the next book in the saga of Mawrdew Czgowchwz. . . ."
