For those who do like CW, may I recommend (if you do not
already know his work) Tim Powers? The closest living writer
to "carrying on the Williams tradition," except that he is,
in my humble, a better prose stylist than Williams ever=20
managed to be. Williams was a fine poet, but in the writing
of fiction ... I wish I knew who first said it, but I've
always agreed with this: "He wrote potboilers, but he=20
always boiled an honest pot."=20

Anywho, Powers is an astonishing writer ...
