Return of the sun's pandemonium

[Mark Kohut]

I suggest McCarthy kept working on them, at least that first....to have
them in the hands of editors/publisher is just in case an 80+ year old guy
died, I think.

*Suttree* was his fourth published novel, but the first one he started
writing. Couldn't get it right to his satisfaction. We sorta know by
circumstantial evidence
that TRP might have started *Against the Day* not long after the
publication of* Gravity's Rainbow*. I've recently learned that Roth's first
deep masterpiece, I and some say,
*My Life As a Man *was started three books before Roth made it what he
wanted and published it....

Happens with geniuses who aren't satisfied until.....
