Fantastic and brief. I'd recommend it to anyone.

>>8537650
Great book. But it pretty much renders the rest of his other books in this style useless.

you're better off reading Beckett or Bernhard. i hope you like boring meditations on famous painters. the first few pages are good, i guess. you guys have to stop sucking DFW's dick, jesus.

I really liked this book....for about the first 30 pages, and then my liking took a sharp turn, in fact, a u-turn.

Frankenstein's Mattress is terrible compared to each book he published after

only read woodcutting by bernard. you mind recommending something that's not so, err, angry by him?

>>8538590
>he think Bernhard is anything but angry

Jolly good, lad.

>>8538554
Why? His other books are just a repeat of the same thing, but done less effectively.

It's the worst of his last five novels, and it's pretty great.

>less angry

Cannot be done m80

Reader's Block > Wittgenstein's Mistress > Vanishing Point > This is Not a Novel > The Last Novel

Definitive.

The title is so wrapped up in layers of irony that it probably could mean whatever you interpret it to be.

It plays around with the fluidity of language in a Witty way, and some sections are basically recursive tracts about a single phrase or clause that transitions into past and future tenses of itself... It's hard to explain. If you can get into a groove with it it flows really well and makes a demented kind of sense. If you can't get into a groove I imagine it would be the most stilted, frustrating read ever.

My review:

It's like reading Brautigan without the fun
