Novelist of Shreds and Patches: The Fiction of David Markson.
- Authors
Dempsey, Peter
- Abstract
This article provides information on various novels written by David Markson. Novelists admire his work profoundly. According to David Foster Wallace, Markson's "Wittgenstein's Mistress," is the high point of experimental fiction in this country. His other novels have won praise from the likes of Kurt Vonnegut, William Kennedy and Frederick Exley. His last novels have cemented his literary reputation as an innovator of the novel form. Markson has produced work of great diversity, from crime fiction, film-scripts and poetry, to the most rigorous of literary experimentalism, but there is also a surprising thematic continuity in his works.
