If I like Pynchon, Theroux (Alexander), Gaddis, Barth, and Vollmann, I might like ...

[Tom Beshear]

McElroy published a volume of short stories a few years ago -- Night Soul and Other Stories -- it's pretty good.

  Lookout Cartridge was great. Challenging reading. I'm reading DeLillo's The Names, and it's also great.

    No, I read and recommend "Actress in the House."  The only McElroy I've read.  I should read Women and Men, but my novel reading has taken a back seat for now.  McElroy is true Modernist, not at all like Pynchon.  He is very skilled, but not for a casual reader.

      Both take some perseverance.  Women and Men is probably up your alley; Miss Macintosh?  Good luck with that, although I think David Morris (sorry if I'm wrong, David) read it.  I think it compares with Henry Darger's writing, minus the perversion.

      Just asking the friendly list for recommendations and suggests based on what I like to read as given in the subject line.  I have gotten my paws on (but not yet begun to read) McElroy's Women and Men, and Marguerite Young's Miss MacIntosh, My Darling.  Any opinions on these two titles?  Thanks!
