For Seven dreams in general?

Or for Dying Grass? It seems so fuckin huge. Is it good? How is it?

Of course it's fucking good. It's just like 1100 pages.

I'd say start with The Rifles if you want History Bill. 13 Stories if you want Prostitution Bill (which all Bill is).

>Shakespeare never won the Nobel.

What gives you that idea?

I'm not the exact fan of Vollmann (have read only The Atlas and it was fine, but nothing breathtaking); haven't read anything from Seven dreams series, I'm not an American and English isn't even my first language.

So I asked how is it; to know if it's worth getting and reading (and, possibly, what's good about it and why is it that good). Maybe a little bit of a discussion, you know.
