'The Last Novel' — by David Markson

Markson is a novelist like no other.

How is it, then, that I only heard of him a month ago when I read a review of his latest book (above)?

Wake up, joe, and smell the coffee already.

Sheesh.

You could do a lot worse with your $10.20 (at Amazon).

I'm just saying, is all.

A 1989 interview with Markson is here.

Full disclosure: Both the Schnabel and Schopenhauer quotations featured here the past two days are from "The Last Novel."
