I got some gas for you right here, hot shot

The only thing I've read by Gass is an article and his writing felt really laboured and unconfident. It certainly wasn't anything special. Based on his acclaim round these parts I'm assuming he excels when it comes to fiction.

Here's the article if anyone is interested: http://www.nytimes.com/books/98/11/01/specials/gass-prizes.html

It's 2-3 people trying to feel special. It's a new meme, so they feel extra fucking hacker 4chan by perpetuating it

No wonder someone who likes Gass is a Joyce fan

Has to be Joyce.
