typo hell #10: i didn't think any of them really off badly (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 5 October 2021 17:17 (two years ago) link

also released this year, Thomas Wolfe's A Man In Full, which was my first encounter with a novel by an acclaimed author being dogshit

Gawd that book was bad. Wasn’t it the one with the blatantly racist scene set in Oakland? Iirc aside from generally dehumanizing the black residents of Oakland, he actually compared them directly to animals.

Haven't read any of these. Given how much I liked 2666 I'm guessing The Savage Detectives would be my favorite on here.

People who know me well already know what I voted for here

2666 gets it right where Savage Detectives...doesn't, quite.
