Jack Kimball scoots a mention of Ronald Firbank in the post that I point to below. bad me, there's one I haven't read. I know I've wanted to. John Latta has been reading and talking about, woof, I was about to write BS Skinner (haven't read him either) but I mean BS Johnson. plus Proust go look!. when the novel is written with what I'll call a poetic sense of form, it's an exciting thing. Woolf, Stein, Beckett, Flann O'Brien, and that other Irish guy. who'm I missing? Melville of course. even James. I think poets are fucked if they don't watch such folks. so Firbank's on my list. who's on your list?
