The Journalist was one of my favorite reads in the last few years. A different kind of journalist (John Strausbaugh) has a nice write-up today in the NYT about Harry Mathews in advance of Mathews’ new book, My Life in CIA.
The article is mostly written around the fact/fiction/reliable narrator playfulness that Mathews does so well. Although Oulipo is mentioned, it is never explained, nor is it referenced with respect to how its constraints might or might not apply to his new book.
One more for the TBR stack.
