In the first 30 pages he mentions Thomas Mann's MAGIC
MOUNTAIN, T.S. Eliot's WASTELAND, Farrell's STUDS LONIGAN,
Dostoyevsky, MOBY DICK, and Gaddis's RECOGNITIONS. Anybody
want to venture a guess at the title?"
I knew I had read it recently, but I had to flip through a
couple of books to remember which one: Epitaph for a Tramp by
David Markson. There are at least as many literary shot outs
in the follow up, Epitaph for a Dead Beat. The overheard
dialog at a beat party alone is hilarious.
