So glad to hear someone else loves this book. It blew my mind when I first read it, and I’ve been in love with Gass’s work ever since

Thanks for this review! I read Middle C last year and absolutely loved it - it definitely has that "lyrical quality" that you mention is in this work. You've made me even more excited to read Omensetter's Luck and The Tunnel!

I recently read his novella, The Pederson Kid, and it echoes much of what you describe. Great prose. Pastoral, midwestern, but with dark underbelly too.

Looking forward to reading this! I read Gass’s “On Being Blue” recently and its ssooooo lyrical. Are you gonna review his The Tunnel too?

I'm a big fan of Gass. Definitely read Middle C and The Tunnel when you get a chance. I can't find your beyond the zero podcast but I would like to listen. Where can I find it?

GASS=GOAT. Such a disturbing and beautiful little book filled with gothic American grotesquery. I always thought it was about the theological concept of Grace. And I also always thought the story of the novel's theft was made up! Gass joking about his own luck, but it seems to be true.

I'll get a review for this out next year, going to read first then 'compare notes'! Also I like the new furby-like creature you've added to the shelves! My shelves are so bare right now I've just been raiding libraries and returning them, can't wait to finally have a good bookcase in my video but it's probably gonna take a few years till I've got the space for it!
