William H. Gass and the Genius of Omensetter's Luck
Omensetter's Luck by William H. Gass is considered a pioneering work in postmodern American literature, but did you know that the novel almost never came to be because the original manuscript was stolen?
In this episode, we discuss Omensetter's Luck by William H. Gass, and all of its quirks, oddities, and genius.
Whether you're a William Gass fan or are only vaguely aware of Omensetter's Luck, I think you'll enjoy this podcast!
