Edwin Frank. Stranger than Fiction. Lives of Twentieth-Century Novel.

    This is a brilliant book, enlightened by the author's impeccable literary taste. One of a few books I read sequentially, from the beginning to an end. A little bit too heavy on a gay agenda. Frank succeeds in making book whole, not a series of essays, by showing obvious and not very obvious connections between disparate authors, some, who were not necessarily aware of each other significance or even existence. The author places a little bit too much importance on his own grandiloquence.
