No, I haven’t. Might check out that one next, this author’s pretty damn good. Might be my favorite postmodernist, if he is one? His dialogue is very naturalistic and funny, and I enjoy how unique this style of novel is. I bounced off Pynchon’s works, except TCoL49, which I enjoyed.

Gaddis was considered the first postmodern novelist, yes. To my knowledge, JR is mostly consistent of dialog, so if you want straight prose and whatnot, the recognitions would be a good one to pick up.
I haven't started JR yet tho. What are some passages you like?

You would probably get a lot out of Jon Fosse as well I would imagine.

i had a very silly experience once trying to read this book while peaking on lsd. i was so immersed in the sensations described in the vivid language but i couldn't make a lick of sense of any of the dialogue. very strange. got frustrated and threw the book away in the woods where i was tripping and then wrote my own short story about a boy at war with owls. the next day i found the book again and later finished it. the after i finished JR i was walking down the street and found a copy of the recognitions in a free box someone had left on the curb. still haven't read that one yet.

You should, it's very good. Then find Carpenter's Gothic and read that.

Read The Recognitions over the winter and just picked up J R over the weekend. I'm about a third through and it's great. Everyone says it is funny and it is very funny. His dialogue is incredible. It will probably be even more funny on a reread when you have a better idea of what was going on.
