Interesting but it looks like all of his books are out of print despite a hiccup of renewed interest in the early 00s.

That's because he's studied at university and libraries snatch up all editions of The Unfortunates

Studied him for a third year Postmodern Literature course and almost topped the class with my essay on the Untouchables and Brian Castro's Drift. Good times.

Is there something you'd particularly recommend? I want to read Christy Malry's Own Double-Entry. Looks like a very fun book.

No one cares, you self-centered homosexual. Such womanly behavior. Embarrassing.

That doesn't make sense. Books don't go out of print because libraries are buying them. He just isn't marketable.
