Well, as long as we're speculating, I've always thought that
Nameless's name was "really" Bill Pronzini. The series is
written in first person, after all. While Bill is too
unpretentious to actually use his own name for the character
(unlike Kinky Friedman), it's been implied on one or two
occasions, and now I think he's finally giving Nameless a
name.
