It is good, you moron.

Where'd you find it? I'm not seeing it on their website

That is just their generic ebook cover. Not final one (I hope).

What's McElroy's prose like in Women and Men? I've only read Cannonball in which the language seemed to be written, to an extreme degree, with the book as a whole in mind. Is the style of Women and Men more traditional, or as idiosyncratic? Anyone have any good quotes from it?

For much of the book it's a lot like Cannonball. The BREATHER sections are even more obscure and difficult to follow. There's also a lot of short stories inserted between chapters which are pretty much conventional in their storytelling.

Disclaimer: I've only read the first 100 pages, but this is my impression so far.

Not better than Gaddis... not even close. Gaddis can address things more swiftly, and they're--at a very basic level--more entertaining/fun than McElroy's. It's worth reading The Recognitions and then Smuggler's Bible. They play nicely off each other.

Better than Pynchon? Depends on taste. Both address very different themes. They overlap in terms of the theme of entropy, I guess--but a lot of Pomo lit addresses it. McElroy is probably more "human" than Pynchon.

Better than Joyce? No.

McElroy has always read, for me at least, as vaguely Proustian. Pick up Night Soul and Other Stories or Smuggler's Bible. But don't read SB without having read The Recognitions. It just makes it a lot better. You *could* do it, but if you have the option, read Gaddis first.
