NP but Catch-22

[Robin Landseadel]

Just a few keystrokes away, as the man always sez . . .

	. . .As to whose books he liked, that was interesting. He loved
	Heller’s Catch-22, thought it the very best novel of its time. He
	also thought highly of John Hawkes, whose Lime Twig was
	important to him. He thought Hawkes as a stylist was
	unsurpassed. And of course Nabokov, who’d taught him at
	Cornell. He was interested in what David Shetzline was writing,
	and said that one day he would find his way back to traditional
	narrative. He thought the world was mad with its weaponry and
	paranoias, and that hasn’t changed much.
