NYC I assume, but Bill's work will be featured in a show at the Jewish Museum this fall ::"Jewish Museum’s ‘Unorthodox’ Group Show Will Include, Among Others, Writer William T. Vollmann"

amazon's still got two copies of the unabridged RURD for US$350. About as low as it typically gets. If you've got that cash.......http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listin...
[still a lot of cash, no matter how you cut it, so be sure to send an inquiry about the books' condition and actual shipping charges]

The Kirkus blurbable review ::https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-re...
"Telegraphic and episodic—so much so that it recalls the later work of Eduardo Galeano—Vollmann’s saga is a note-perfect incantation. Stunning."
And it should be noted that that article on the $55 thing is posted on the Melville House blog. Melville House of the 80 page ELEVEN=dollar novella ::http://www.mhpbooks.com/books/the-uni...
Which would mean, if Melville pub'd The Dying Grass, it would cost $189.00!
