Has anyone on /lit/ read Cartesian Sonata by Gass? What'd

I just bought this, gonna read it in a few weeks.

I've only read a bit of the Tunnel so far, but I would recommend Omensetter's Luck way more than Cartesian Sonata. OL is pretty short, too.

I recommend reading Gass chronologically, as it gives you a clearer picture of him.

omenman was his first, right?

Yes, and, according to DFW, it is his best, though I disagree.

Tell me, what do you think regarding his works? Which is best?

Personally, I enjoyed The Tunnel the most. But that's probably because I see more of myself in it than I do his other works.

That seems to be a safe answer on lit, the tunnel seems to be gass' gravity's rainbow

That's an adequate comparison, I guess. Anyway, if you do check it out--and I hope you do--I recommend keeping an open mind and remembering that you are supposed to be repulsed by its main character, William Kohler.
