How is he not more famous? His books are beautiful. He writes with great style. What do you guys think of Joseph Mcelroy and his writing style? I find his unique hybrid of postmodernism and stream of consciousness very refreshing. This book in particular reminded me of getting into the heads of Joyce's characters. Why haven't you read him yet anon. also go read Gaddis.

Nothing, in this context OP is throwing around buzzwords. "Postmodernism" is not something that can be "read" out of a text in the way "stream of consciousness" can. Something can be considered "postmodern" when the work is looked at as a whole, as something complete. It is not simply gleaned from a passage, like stream of consciousness.
