The Pale King

[malignd at aol.com]

Worried too at first about it's being unfinished, but I think now it's not going to be a problem.  It seems pretty clear (to me, anyway) that it was never intended to be linear in its design, so I don't think there is any overarching scheme that is being violated. And there's so much good writing, line by line, paragraph after paragraph, it hardly matters.

Am currently reading this          and I think it's brilliant and amazing.  Anyone else read it?               
    I started... it starts really slow. On just your recommendation I    will give it another try after finishing BE. I miss DFW's writing.    IJ was hard to start with, but with PK I was afraid of investing a    lot of effort into something unfinished and disappointing. If this    were a better world, DFW would still be writing novels at 76.
