Would Vollman qualify?

Which of his works should I read first. A friend recommended this one to me.

Dream of the Red Mansion/Chamber is probably the greatest unfinished story next to the Recherche du temps perdu

Currently on a Musil read. Man without qualities has a very original premise, quite refreshingly. It's unfortunate that like 3 people on this board have actually read it, but it's always namedropped for obvious reasons

>he's only read books from the canon ONCE
>he thinks he can truly grasp any great work of literature from a single read through

Tbh, reading the canon should take a long time, even if you don't stray off the main path. Understanding various works takes much longer.
