I still have not read Mezzanine, even though I love Nicholson Baker. It makes me feel like a bad person.

x-p2: Joe Brainard has written a LOT, actually, almost all of it "little books." And yes it is def. a stretch to call it a novel -- well, OK it's actually *incorrect* to call it a novel but I just love his work a lot lot lot. If you ever find the 'Collected Writings' book that Kulchur released in the early '70s or the 'New Work' book on Black Sparrow around the same time, pick them up.
