David Markson writes this critical narrative with such finesse. So compelling. His erudition and distinctive style is like a torch light sweeping across pictures I've only viewed myopically and in semi-darkness. Wowser.

Wheels inside wheels spiralling ever deeper... I wish I had a better memory that I could store up and recall all of this detail at will. This Twit is fleetingly enlightened.

This novel would be in my top 10. I have to re-read it.

I'm reading it slowly and sporadically - savouring it. And returning to Virgil after I've written up my experience of reading The Recognitions. The Death of Virgil, Under The Volcano; Middle C and The Recognitions... They're all interconnected.

Also in an attempt to better understand literature and how to write reviews.
