>I give you the mausoleum of all hope and desire...I give it to you not that you may remember time, but that you might forget it now and then for a moment and not spend all of your breath trying to conquer it. Because no battle is ever won he said. They are not even fought. The field only reveals to man his own folly and despair, and victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools.

This is a Faulkner quote.

I read The Pedersen Kid by Willy G and I liked it. His prose is extremely good. I just found that he went on for a smidge too long.

But who is it that memes on The Tunnel? Truly--Verily--It is by the good will and the heart of the people we sing the praises of William Gass. The only dislike, the only vinegar in which his name is spoken, comes only at the hands of the functionally unread, the aesthetically bereft; he is decried only by those preaching a wounded philosophy.

Why hasn't Bloom ever said anything about Gass?

I just read Omensetter's Luck and it was one of the best things I've ever read. Does anyone have recommendations for his nonfiction?

I have world within the word, life sentences, and finding a form. I recommend you just read a blurb about some on the internet and see which one sounds interesting.

Question I've been wondering about lately because it seems like they should admire each other.

I think I read Gass commenting on Bloom (favorably) but I can't remember where.
