I like to re-read his earlier novels: THE GOSPEL SINGER,
NAKED IN GARDEN HILLS, and CAR. A FEAST written before his
fiction hiatus is his most strongly noirish book. But BODY is
also terrific. His autobiography, A CHILDHOOD, has to stand
as a classic. All of his books are rich in dark humor. He
also has a collection of interviews and several books of
essays.
