I read The Corrections based on the vaunting of this quote. The worst book I've read this year. the terseness of hemingway, the anxiety of bellow, and the ethos of DFW, sans the insight, humor or...
i seriously tried both of those several times. must've been on caps lock...
thanks
Tried everything I know. Please be explicit but only if you have tried it and know it works. Thanks.

I'm not 'in the club' so to speak but I'll nominate the overlooked work of Sinclair Lewis and nominate 'Main Street'
