The lost postmodrenist: Joseph McElroy

Thanks, I hadn't known about the Sayles book, er, ms. until now:

Lone Star is very fine and underrated, packing a great deal about about
borders, race, ethnicity, fathers and sons into a wonderful police/Hamlet
mashup. Now I'm panting to read Some Time in the Sun.

(McElroy is rewarding too, but boy does he make you work for it)
