> Winner of the Wm Faulkner Foundation Award for Debut novel.
> Nominated, yes, for a National Book Award. His slow learning is long over.

Not true. His slow learning is far from over. In fact, the slow
learner period includdes V. and the best of the collection, "The
Secrtet Integration" or his apprentice work. We should not ignore this
fact as we read V. again. It is a wonderful debut novel. I love it.
But it is not a work that ends or even leaves his slow learning
behind.
