NP but influenced by fer sure

[Mark Kohut]

LOWBOY by John Wray(promising Granta writer under 40)...new generally acclaimed novel. 

Protagonist is a genuine (diagnosed--harmful to others) Paranoid Schizophrenic who rides the NY subway
back and forth with obsessive awareness of it.

p. 3 "signs and tells were all around him"

Soon, the fact of a 'revelation' appears in the text.

Ouroborous and open vs. self-contained system (to describe the subway system).

For your own self-esteem and nothing more, name couple-three books by which writer that have influenced John Wray's LOWBOY.

I have not read a review. Any of our sharpest critics make the Pynchon connections?
