this article gets curioser (although not yet curioser and curioser).

Seems Louis Menand in The New York Review of Books (then) laid down
some over-the-top praise of Mason & Dixon and compared it to
Levi-Strauss's Tristes Tropiques, as McCarthy here says is THE
artist-like writer of his time..

Also, Tom McCarthy reading from #SatinIsland: passage about doomed
parachutist, film by Johan Grimonprez. Do spare 3m23s
