Has anyone else read this ?

I picked it up in a used-bookshop, because the author was listed in a chronicle of the American novel my husband has. It is also in the 1,001 books you must read before you die ... which might be appropriate as it is about the day the narrator decides Not to commit suicide...

I wasn't too fond of it but that's just my taste. After you read it, take a look at Nabokov, say Pale Fire, and see what you think of the comparison.

well, it's no Pale Fire, but i thought The Floating Opera was still a really great book...
