Gasseous

A while back I commented in a post that enterprising people could do contemporary literature a favor by starting up better web sites on particular writers. Steve Schenkenberg e-mailed to inform me was thinking of putting up such a site devoted to William Gass. He's now gone and done it, and the site, Tunneling, can be found here. Good bibliographies and links to work available online.

For the Gass-uninitiated, this recent article in the St. Louis Post Dispatch might be a good introduction. It contains this priceless Gass comment: "I know an awful lot about one thing and that's the sentence. I've studied it all my life."
