I wouldn't recommend jumping into that right away. A lot of graduate students are going to struggle with a postmodern, allusion-heavy text like that. Start with some of his short stories and see if you like those. I've had students in a contemporary lit class read this one before: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2009/12/14/all-that-2 |

I still cannot make it through this without lying down. http://chuckpalahniuk.net/features/shorts/guts I've read the majority of his other novels, but that is by far the hardest for me to stomach. |

I just got Dayton Moore's book. Plan to start reading it in five minute sittings in my "porcelain library."

TimBone mentioned McMurtry, which would have been my next choice to pick up a long line of books. But if he liked that, I'd recommend Cormac McCarthy and Elmore Leonard. Both deal with sparse American settings and terse characters with wit. |
