If setting the Sustain Level in the ENV to around 7, you can obtain a howling sound.

 Hi bread. I love this pomo poo poo so much that I dropped by. Love DFW, Pynchon, and so on. "Agape Agape" is my favorite novel of all time. I think that Robert Coover is phenomenally underrated, but John Barth is THE most underrated writer of all time. Guy is a thousand years old, started before all these other guys, and still had published a few killer tomes in just the last few years - wow! He's so good!

Also, JOHN HAWKES, drat! One of my absolute favorite guys ever. Full head explosion every time I make it through a page of his. Guy wrote just pure nightmare Guy Maddin/David Lynch concepts in what almost reads like poetry translated by babelfish to another language and back to English, but it's GREAT. Pure elemental imagery throughout too. Purest beauty, but insane. A horse pees on a child!

 I just saw that my phone went pomo by autocorrecting "thread" to "bread."

Anyone read George Saunders new Lincoln in the Bardo?

Just finished. REAL good. Like Gaddis at his peak.

 I believe Barth to be the greatest living American writer. He's so incredibly underrated that it's disgusting.
