Anybody else absolutely love this guy? Everything he writes is virtually flawless. His characters are always hyper-realistic, his prose is always just enough, and you always feel a little uncomfortable when reading anything he's written. He just had this perfect sense of the human psyche.

I think my favorite work of his is Next to Nothing. How about you, /lit/ friends? Any thoughts on the man, his novels, or his poetry?

I've never read anything by him but physically he always looked like a deformed Faulkner to me.

I have Sheltering Sky near the top of one of my to-read piles, is he that good?

I also have his wife's book, Two Serious Ladies, it actually sounds more interesting, but it has one of the ugliest covers I've ever seen, so I haven't been able to start it.

>is he that good?
yes, but it might be a radical departure from anything you're used to
never read anything by his wife, never felt the need
