Making my way through Sergio De La Pava's 'A Naked Singularity' (great title!). Originally self-published, this 800+ page book is both brilliant, and frustratingly self-indulgent. It could have benefited from some editing, but at what cost? This guy, a public defender in NYC, is so talented, like a Pynchon, or a Vollmann. Bookmark this guy; he has the real sauce.
