Also the Knowlson, Cronin biographies and Christopher Ricks for secondary literature

Wow, right on. I could NOT put down the Knowlson Bio!
Recently read the early novel Murphy. Though having some flaws, if it was written by another author, would be considered a major work. Just a haunting book that hits long after...Currently "reading" lol Watt. I will lyk. Right now the narrator has pulled the teleogical rug out from under me (and Sam is winking from the grave...)
Have not read any of his other prose YET.
I am mostly a student of WFG...
