It's apparently the focus of my English 02 class.

I have read Ninety Two in the Shade.
Think of McGuane as Pynchon-like unspooling prose style with realistic non-Pynchonian plot.

His early books The Sporting Club and The Bushwhacked Piano are pretty funny. 92 in the Shade starts getting a bit grimmer. I read a couple of his middle aged and wistful books and didn't like them as much as his younger books. They were still humorous but a mellower type of humor.
