The BURIED Book Club discussion

Elusive American writer, long-neglected genius and in the language of my fellow goodreaders, a Buried writer. I'll resort to what others said about Woolf:

He has discipline and a sense of style . . . a comic vision . . . and an independence of approach. If you want to experience America as it might have been seen by a Smollett, a Sterne, a Fielding, or in places even a Cervantes, don't miss Douglas Woolf.” —Los Angeles Times

“Woolf tackles life in painstakingly measured strides, meticulously recording details. Ruminations, not action, are his forte: ignoring current fads, he can make a story out of nothing and then [courageously] take it nowhere. Woolf's work has been available mainly in limited editions and small-press volumes; [one hopes that] with this ample posthumous volume, his audience at last has the chance to catch up with him.” —Publishers Weekly

Thankfully his books are available so we better don't miss him out.

He's available indeed, but hanging by a mere thread (just like the rest of us). amazon's only got Wall to Wall & Fade Out available new ;; Dalkey adds to that Ya! & John-Juan. Used of course as always.

Here's the Dalkey search for Woolf :: http://www.dalkeyarchive.com/?s=dougl... You'll find a RCF issue and an issue of Context.

A typical BURIED Author page at wikipedia (broken links thrown in for zero dollar) :: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_... And what is called a "Selected bibliography" ("selected" is poor word choice, but there it is; one assumes it means that it's not an exhaustive bibliography) ::

Fade Out (ISBN 0-87685-988-0)
Hypocritic Days & Other Tales (ISBN 0-87685-911-2)
Ya! John-Juan; Two Novels (ISBN 0-685-79056-8)
