I haven't read of his literature but am considering it. He's clearly an erudite man but can come across as rather doctrinal, though I'm just going off his articles and public appearances.

I've only read Quantity Theory of Insanity. It was cool, kind of felt like Ballard with a PhD or something. I couldn't quite love it though. All of the stories had neat premises, but they never seemed to go anywhere beyond that premise. I'll probably read more of his work eventually.

Liver is his best short story collection, Umbrella his best novel.

Start with Quantity Theory.../Book of Dave, though.

I don't know but he looks very /lit/ in that picture: thin, cigarette, black clothes, hiking back pack. Very cool.
