I love Drury, and started with End of Vandalism as well. There's some Charles Portis in this work, don't you think? I love Portis too — I've shared his books as much as any author I know, and I've been thanked every single time. Have you done something on Portis?
Wonderful analysis! Love your comparison to Alan Lomax, 'holding out his microphone on some never-before-visited front porch.' Adding this Tom Drury novel to my reading list! Thanks 🙂
Construction at the end of my block wakes me up early. I had a busy day today, and I knew I'd be tired, so when I saw your email in my inbox this morning I let it sit so I could savor it tonight. "They are gratuitous shows of authorial perceptiveness, stray hairs forming accidental whorls in the margins of a Xerox." It was worth the wait along with the introduction to Drury who I've just added to my To Read list.
