all I've read we're the rainbow stories and that was a fun time. I wish I looked fucks up so I could penetrate places like he does.

I'd like to. It annoys me how many feckin' tomes Vollmann writes, because I like his writing and the topics he chooses, but goddam if they don't take weeks/months to finish

I enjoy spending so much time with his characters, tho. Big books are kinda intimidating at first, but reaching the end of one of these big books is an unparalleled feeling.

I agree with you entirely, and I'm fond of doorstoppers as well, but sometimes it can be too much for me and need a novella to cool down afterwards.

emma watson ghostwrites all of his novels

are you really surprised?

What?

Vollmann usually poses more questions than answers that are held together by an average plot. Doorstoppers trying to scare into believing he some intelligent accomplished writter, but when you look inside it's mostly filler of no purpose.

t. Pseud. If you go into fiction, let alone PoMo fiction for "answers" then you're sorely misinformed. He provide varied viewpoints of certain moments in time from different angles. Read Europe Central, it doesn't give any "answers" but is informative in regards to how various individuals on both sides of WWII between Germany and Soviets dealt with the war, their jobs, and their own creativity.
