Exciting. I'll have to pick up the Ontiveros after I get to Vardeman's Suggestion Diabolique. And for what it's worth I'm team black&white Cactus cover!
Gargantua and Pantagruel comes to mind first...it's a good idea for a book tube, so I'm going to think about it further...Brossard's wake Up, and his Raging Joys are in there...Catch 22...still much thinking to do...
I haven't read JW (Lorrie Moore just came to mind as a funny writer...). I knew Johnson and found him dispiriting and lazy brained. I liked Angels, but nothing else of his...

Glad you seem to be feeling better, Rick.
Thank you
Just ordered the two new books.
What are the funniest books you have ever read?

@@rickharsch8797 Thanks for the reply. You have already mentioned these books in your ‘meta-fiction’ video (I’m a fan)
@@prabhsimranmann918 Gilbert Sorrentino! Mulligan Stew, and everything else I've read by him
@@RickHarsch thanks. They did not mention any of our (if I can say that) books on New Yorker best books of 21st century
@@prabhsimranmann918 We are small. They are big.
Why is the cover ai Rick?
What do you think of Denis Johnson and Joy Williams?
Not that it means anything to you, but Joy Williams was born in my small(ish) hometown of Chelmsford, Ma! I've been wanting to read State of Grace.

@@AlexanderQuadros-eu3zi I've heard good things...
@@rickharsch8797 thanks. I found both of them funny. I also find Sergei Dovlatov funny.
@@prabhsimranmann918 I'll have to check out this Dovlatov. Thanks
